Adur's Conservative councillors have a pretty strange way of showing their support for local pensioners getting a free half-fare bus pass.
Last year, Labour councillors successfully reduced the cost of a half-fare pensioners' bus pass in Adur from £42 to £5 but it was voted through on the narrowest of margins.
Labour attracted the vote of just one Tory councillor, who defied his group whip and voted with Labour's proposed price cut.
For his trouble, that Tory councillor was even threatened with being thrown out of the Conservative Group.
Councillor Funnell (Opinion, April 7) should do his homework before claiming credit for something his party refused to vote for and showing how penny-pinching and grudging he is about pensioners receiving a free bus pass this year.
