Save the Freedom Pass
Labour Transport Ministers have drawn up proposals to reduce the grant for older and disabled residents travel that pays for the popular Freedom Pass Scheme in London.
1.2 million people use the Freedom Pass in London, under a scheme that sees local Councils currently contributing a third of the cost, while other areas of the country have their schemes fully funded by the Government.
The Labour Government is now considering further reducing funding so that it only covers around half the cost. This will cost London £50 million in funding for the scheme to provide Freedom Passes for elderly and disabled people.
It would mean London's Council Tax payers will have to fork out another £18 a year to cover this Government cut.
Sign the petition asking Ministers to scrap these plans and treat London fairly.
