I AM writing to express my anger at all Conservative councillors who voted to cancel our free bus passes.

Putting 30 pence on each journey for us is just plain crazy as this means that if and when we get a small rise in our pensions in April, this rise in bus fares will swallow up the money.

I suppose these councillors will next be thinking of how to charge us for council tax.

These people should do what Birmingham Transport do and that is to give the disabled and pensioners free travel from 9.30am-4.30pm, off peak hours.

I only hope the people of Redditch think about all this when the elections come around.

We pensioners and disabled are always the ones who suffer. Why? Answers please through this column.
