No restrictions on travel passes for the elderly
I want the government to lift restrictions on travel passes for the elderly so that they can access shops freely and easily during the Coronavirus outbreak.
Why is this important?
Supermarkets have shopping hours for the elderly from 8-9 in the morning but travel passes don’t work until 9am meaning many can not access the shops. Many can not afford this - I met one elderly woman yesterday who told me this exact problem meaning she has to go to the supermarket when it had already been stripped but also when it was much busier and therefore with a higher likelihood of infection. This stress needs removing as these are not normal times.
