Decision:
As detailed in the recommendation.
Minutes:
Councillor Thomas introduced the report which provided an update on the process and timelines for the Concessionary Travel Card replacement project.
Transport for Wales (TfW) had been consulting with all national stakeholders and local partners on their intention to re-issue around 750,000 Concessionary Travel Cards across Wales by the end of December 2019.
The new style cards had been issued to all new applicants since June 2019, with the full roll out of replacement cards being recently commenced. Following problems with the volume of traffic on the TfW website, their website capacity had been increased and would be available for use the following week. Paper applications could be completed by residents visiting a Connects Centre.
RESOLVED:
That the process to re-issue Concessionary Travel Cards to all eligible residents of Flintshire be noted.
