Oh, dear. Adur's Jim Funnell has still got the free half-price bus story wrong, still seeking to claim credit which is not his.

His party was required by our Labour government to issue free half-fare bus passes for the benefit of our pensioners with effect from April 2001, replacing the £5 passes introduced in 2000 by Adur's Labour-led administration.

His frequent references to my friends and fellow councillors as Labourites serve only to highlight his "sticks and stones" mentality.

-Coun Peter Berry, Adur District Council
