Don't miss out on your bus pass
People who make the most of their St Edmundsbury bus pass are being urged to apply for a new style pass as soon as possible to avoid missing out on free travel.
From 1 April, bus operators will no longer accept bus passes with an expiry date of 31 March 2008. Instead, new single-part passes will be used with a photograph of the holder printed onto them.
Everyone who has a St Edmundsbury bus pass which expires in March 2008 is being sent a letter asking them to come into one of the council's offices, or go along to the bus station, to have their picture taken. This must be done before 31 January to ensure a bus pass can be issued from 1 April 2007.
You can have your photograph taken at any of these locations:
- Borough Offices, Angel Hill, Bury St Edmunds (which opens from 9am to 5pm on Monday to Thursday and 9am to 4pm on Fridays);
- Bus Station, Bury St Edmunds (open from 8am to 5pm, Monday to Saturday); and
- Council Offices, Lower Downs Slade, Haverhill (which opens from 9am to 5pm on Monday to Thursday and 9am to 4pm on Fridays).
Alternatively, you can send a recent passport photograph of yourself in to the council's office at St Edmundsbury House in Western Way, Bury St Edmunds, IP33 3YS.
