CONCESSIONARY bus pass holders are being urged to provide up-to-date details to the council to avoid disruption to their use of the service.
From Tuesday, August 9, Wokingham Borough Council will renew all 24,000 passes which it has issued to eligible residents over the last five years.
If holders have moved without telling the council, their pass could be sent to a previous address meaning they may not realise until their old one expires on Friday, September 30.
Concessionary passes are available to residents who have reached the state pension age or who have certain conditions affecting their mobility for 12 months or more.
Cllr Paul Fishwick, executive member for active travel, transport and highways, said: “Many concessionary bus pass holders will have moved home without letting us know.
“If we don’t have your current address on file, there’s a chance that you might not get a new pass before your old one runs out and we want to avoid anyone being inconvenienced unnecessarily.
“This will ensure you continue to enjoy the benefits of travelling by bus free of charge, including a significantly reduced impact on our environment compared with travelling by car.”
Pass holders who have moved home in the past five years should email [email protected].
