Petition to save the threatened Freedom Pass

Plans uncovered by London Councils show Government proposals to cut funding for the popular Freedom Pass - the scheme that gives older people and disabled residents free travel across London.

The government plans to seize £50 million from London to shore up funding gaps in other parts of England. Unlike other parts of the country that receive 100% of the costs of the free travel scheme, in London local council tax payers pay a third. These government cuts would reduce that support to 50%.

Caroline has already written to Government Minister Sadiq Khan MP on this issue and is working hard with Lib Dem MPs and Councillors across the capital to ensure the Freedom Pass is preserved.

Please sign the Lib Dems' petition here to save the Freedom Pass from these cuts, and encourage your friends and colleagues to sign up too.
