Concessionary travel passes

Robert Eriksohn made this Freedom of Information request to Penwith District Council

Penwith District Council did not have the information requested.

From: Robert Eriksohn

29 January 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

I would like to make a request as regards to the concessionary
travel arrangements in your authority under the terms of Freedom of
Information Act.

1. Does your authority provide concessionary travel passes to those
individuals registered with their local Social Services department
as disabled on the grounds of being a mental health user or
survivor?

2. If your authority does have such arrangements why was the
decision taken to extend the scheme in this way and what
arrangements are in place?

3. If your authority does not have such arrangements does your
authority have some other arrangement beyond the statuary minimum
to provide passes to those with mental health issues?

4. If your authority does not have such arrangements why was the
decision taken not to extend the scheme in this way and has
consideration been given to extending the scheme in this way in the
future?

5. Would it be possible to provide copies of any relevant policy
documents you may have.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Yours faithfully,

Robert Eriksohn

Dear Sir,

I refer to your FOI request concening the above dated 29th January '09.

With regard to your questions,this Authority has no responsibility for
concessionary travel within this District.The Highway Authority,Cornwall
County Council,are responsible for concessionary travel and its
implementation and I would suggest that you contact them at their
offices in Truro for the information you require.

I am sorry we are unable to help in this instance.

Yours faithfully,
