Council questions concessionary pass holders

Cheshire East Council is asking all holders of a concessionary bus pass whether they need to renew their pass this year if it is no longer needed.

The council wants to minimise the number of passes it issues that go unused. Disability passes are not affected by this process and their existing pass will continue to be renewed in the usual way.

The council has 60,000 registered concessionary bus pass holders, but nearly 30,000 have not been used in the past 12 months.
