I AM very concerned about the decision to not allow us to use our bus pass before 9am. Elderly people like me deliberately ask for early appointments at the hospital, doctor’s surgery and dentist.

Our early buses have plenty of empty seats.

My personal visits include two surgery visits for dressings. This involves four buses to get there and back. I go shopping twice a week to avoid carrying too heavy a weight and again this involves four busses. The cost for this would be over £20.

I just hope someone makes the decision makers think again.
