Don't means-test the free bus pass!
I hereby petition the Government to keep the free bus pass for pensioners non means tested, and exempt from national and local government cuts. The free bus pass enables pensioners and disabled people to play a full part in their community, getting out of the house, shopping, seeing families, getting to their voluntary activities in the 'Big Society". Isolation means depression and more use of the NHS.Means testing may mean trouble for couples, people with occupational pensions and savings, non car owners, car owners who can't afford to drive,rural dwellers. Pensioners are voters too! Keep the free bus pass non means tested!
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
