Rejected petition: Access for Halton residents 60+ to the Merseytravel concessionary travel scheme
Rejected on
Call on Halton Borough Council to include Halton residents aged 60 + in the Merseytravel concessionary travel scheme.
Halton Borough Council and Merseytravel to work together to include Halton residents aged 60 and over in the Merseytravel concessionary travel scheme.
Currently, people aged 60+ living in Halton are unable to access the same concessionary travel benefits that are available to older residents in neighbouring areas within the Liverpool City Region.
We urge Halton Borough Council and Merseytravel to work together to extend the scheme to Halton residents aged 60 and above.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This is the responsibility of Merseytravel and local councils, not the UK Government. It is also a local issue.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
