Issue - decisions

The Cabinet Member has considered the outcome of the consultation and endorsed the withdrawal of the current offer of a free senior rail card as an alternative to a free bus pass to eligible older West Sussex residents from October 2020.

The decision was called-in. On 2 July 2020, the Environment and Communities Scrutiny Committee rejected the call-in but supported further work on mitigations to be carried out by officers. Also, that further work is carried out to advertise the availability of the concessionary railcard so that people know that they can still apply for it before October 2020.
