On November 28, the European Court of Human Rights considered a petition for parity concerning concessionary bus passes in the UK.
At present women at 60 receive a bus pass, men do not. Lord Lester of Herne Hill led the delegation.
A verdict will be announced in March 2001 and our petitioners are quietly confident of a positive outcome. Brighton and Hove Council and other authorities please note.
