Andy Burnham has made an election pledge to help residents who can’t afford the upfront costs of an annual Bee Network pass to get the discount by paying by weekly interest-free payments through a credit union.
Andy says “It annoys me how people on low incomes often pay more for energy and transport because they can’t buy upfront. So, working with GMCreditUnions, we will help people to buy an annual BeeNetwork pass via weekly interest-free repayments – and make big savings on travel costs”
This will offer a great scheme for Hoot members in Bury, and we hope eventually in Bolton.
