Free all day bus travel to continue for concessionary pass holders and be extended to care leavers, Cabinet votes
During Wednesday’s meeting, Cabinet voted to approve plans for free travel for care leavers up to the age of 25. The decision follows a successful pilot run in Cornwall by the charities Barnardo’s and Carefree which highlighted a range of benefits including improved mental health, better access to work, training or study, getting to appointments and reducing isolation.
