Rosie's Campaign for a Fair Deal on Free Travel for Pensioners
|
I have been campaigning for a better deal on free travel for West Lancashire residents. Campaigning with local pensioners groups I am calling for the over-60s to have the option of free rail travel like their neighbours in Wigan, Liverpool and Southport. Pensioners already have free national bus travel through the government-funded concessionary travel scheme. I and many West Lancashire pensioners have taken to the streets with our campaign, and I have held a Parliamentary debate on the issue.
