Time for a Fair Deal on the Buses...

Mean-spirited councillors at Grantham have again decided to put off giving Deeping pensioners the same deal on the buses enjoyed in every other part of Lincolnshire.

Last April, Conservative-controlled South Kesteven Council refused to join a county-wide scheme to extend the Government's concessionary fares scheme to include buses before 9.30am.

They said they needed time to see how much it would cost.

Now the figures are in for the first six months of the scheme - and the actual cost to the council is about HALF what they actually bugetted for.

Now they have decided they need more time.

I believe it's an absolute disgrace.

GW, I think you will find that Isaac Newton was more famous than Mrs T, and although born in Woosthorpe I think you find Grntham claim him as their most famous citizen

Fair comment Anon - I would agree Isaac Walton as the more famous, Ms T as the most infamous.
