Cllr Bob Belam

Residents over 60 and those with disabilities are being urged to take advantage of

the Freedom Pass at a road show next month.

Transport for London (TfL) will be visiting Walthamstow in a drive to make sure people eligible for free travel take advantage of the scheme by March 31^st.

The road show will be at Selbourne Walk, Walthamstow, on Wednesday, February 3^rd.

As the current passes will run out on 31^st March 2010, all Freedom Pass holders over 60 are being urged to apply for new passes well before this date.

Application forms will be available online or at the Post Office from 4^th January 2010, and unlike previous years, forms must be presented with a passport photo at the Post Office, who will then arrange for a new pass to be posted directly back to applicants.

Eligible disabled users will be contacted by their borough.
