Bus pass changes prompt letters

Hampshire residents with disabilities are to deliver letters to the county council, outlining their objections over plans to change bus pass conditions.

Last month, campaign group Waterside Changemakers handed in a petition, signed by more than 1,700 people, to Hampshire County Council (HCC) over its proposed cuts to passes.

Waterside Changemakers, which campaigns for disadvantaged people, has now invited council leader Nick Adams-King to meet residents and receive their letters.

HCC currently allows free travel at any time of day for pass holders and helpers, but last year decided to alter this.
