Validity of Local Authority "Over 60s" free bus passes ?
Joe Patrick wrote Or too expensive. Which is what these Over 60 passes are. I am appalled that my local services are going to have to be cut (and it's going to be worse in seaside towns) to fund these passes which my local council is going to be short by about £1 Million. These are all estimates which may be right or wrong. Unless someone can quote data from Scotland no one can do more than guess what the increase in usage will be, still less whether the payment from HM Treasury will cover it. The budget for my (Surrey) district for last year was £43 per pass. They either need to be scrapped, or introduced on a means tested basis. How long has the phase "got my bus pass" been in use ? The enhancement is because Brown wants votes, but I assume that the idea was that getting Seniors out and about is good for their health plus the cash going to bus companies will slow the deterioration in bus services outside London. -- Mike D |
