Freedom for the fighters

23 July 2008
 
Free, England-wide bus passes will be offered to seriously-injured service personnel and veterans, transport minister, Rosie Winterton, has announced.

As part of the Ministry of Defence’s cross-government Command paper, it was also announced that there would be an automatic Blue Badge entitlement to allow injured armed forces personnel and veterans greater access to on-street parking and free use of parking meters.

These enhancements build on April’s extension of the free bus pass, to allow up to 11M older and entitled disabled people to travel for free on local buses across England, and the department’s recent consultation on changes to the Blue Badge scheme.
