Paul Holmes MP and Chesterfield Liberal Democrats: Listening to and Fighting for Chesterfield

Our Petition

Summary of Aim

To ask the Labour Government to fully fund its Concessionary Bus Fare Scheme.

Full Text of Petition

The Labour Governments Concessionary Bus Fare scheme has been underfunded in chesterfield by around £1.8 million! If not fully funded the scheme could mean that Chesterfield Borough Council will need to cut nearly 12% of the Council's annual services, up to 80 jobs, or the equivilant of putting Council Tax up by 36%!

I call on the Labour Government to completely fund its Concessionary Bus Fares scheme for Chesterfield - the worst hit Council in England - and all other Councils affected by the devastating under-funding.
