Further to our local campaign, and the visit from the Transport Minister Richard Holden MP last month, I am pleased the Labour London Mayor Sadiq Khan has reversed his decision to end the Day Travelcard to and from London.
I have opposed this proposal since the very start, as the plans would have seen the price of travel to and from the capital rise by 33%. It was simply unacceptable – and meant further cost increases for hard working local families.
I do find it quite remarkable that the man who said he was scrapping the card, is now claiming to have saved it. But let’s hope this is the start of a trend and he soon will realise the mistake he has made extending the #ULEZ zone.
