RE Durham County Council’s change in free travel – from tokens to bus passes – for pensioners in the Wear Valley area. Why could it not stop as it was, so that people could choose which was suitable for them?
I am 74 and the wife is 71. We are both unable to walk any great distances and unable to board buses, which is a disadvantage. The tokens were ideal for us to get a taxi at our convenience. Why can’t people who need this service have their say?
