CROSS-BORDER CONCESSIONARY TRAVEL SCHEME (No. 3)

Motion Text

That this House, in welcoming the free off-peak concessionary travel arrangements, believes that the scheme should be enhanced so as to allow cross-boundary travel between local authorities; notes that the residents of Easington constituency rely upon acute hospital services and major shopping centres which are located in adjacent local authority areas in Tyne and Wear, Teeside and Durham City; and calls upon the Government to bring forward measures which will enable cross-boundary travel to adjacent local authority areas.
