COUNCIL chief Martin Tett has issued an ‘unreserved apology’ to parents after the school closures website crashed this morning.

Thousands of parents were left frustrated trying to view the webpage, after several centimetres of snow fell across Buckinghamshire overnight.

Councillor Tett told a Bucks County Council meeting this morning: “I think this is completely unacceptable and I have asked the chief executive to look into it as a matter of urgency....This is the second time it has been down.

“I'm extremely conscious that parents rely on the website. It can be extremely difficult for parents who maybe have commitments in the morning, who are working and have to make alternative arrangements and can lose income.

“I issue an unreserved apology to all parents who've been affected by this issue.”

The webpage is now working again - see related links.
