It’s important to recognise that Freeview Tv is still widely used. Not every older person has either access to the internet nor the help of a family member to help navigate it. My aunt when she was alive struggled with the Freeview channels and couldn’t comprehend how the internet/mobile phones worked .
Victoria supported: Save Freeview TV for Lynette and millions of others who depend on it!I am 81 with disabilities and struggle to understand the fast paced, ever changing world of technology. I receive pension credit and struggle to pay my energy bills and eat good food. Losing Freeview would be cruel and thoughtless for many people like me
Patricia supported: Save Freeview TV for Lynette and millions of others who depend on it!They have not considered poor people who cannot afford expensive contracts and tv is their lifeline and especially if they are disabled this is very unkind
Leonie supported: Save Freeview TV for Lynette and millions of others who depend on it!So under these proposals if you are 60-66 using an oyster card you would still qualify for free tube/train in London yet when you reach the age of 66 most of these will be taken away, just when you are likely to retire, have less income and no chance of another employment. How can that be justified. Surely it would be better to restrict for 60-66? Or preferably not at all
Michelle supported: Stop restricting Freedom Pass travel in LondonMy husband has to attend Moorfields Hospital every month. We are both elderly pensioners and travel on the tube to get there as I need to accompany him. This will put a huge strain on our resources if we have to pay. Yes other areas do not get this benefit but Londoners have extra costs anyway living in the most expensive area in the UK.
Wendy supported: Stop restricting Freedom Pass travel in LondonAs a 80year old woman living alone, seeing friends, going to appointments.. moving around with my freedom pass is so essential
Josette supported: Stop restricting Freedom Pass travel in LondonYou’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
