This set of images is to illustrate an article written for a magazine called ‘All Things Local’.
This community magazine is produced and distributed from a base in Kilburn, Derbyshire and covers large areas of the towns of Ripley and Belper.
Over the past 12 months, I have been involved in a National Petition entitled ‘Love Your Bus Pass’. The purpose of which was to persuade all the political parties to ‘come clean’ and tell us what their intentions are regarding the ‘Bus Pass’ at the next General Election which is due to be held in May 2015.
The petition run by West Midlands County Council Richard Worrall has been successful in raising both awareness and a number of petition signatures totaling over 150,000.
On September the 8th. 2014, he together with other delegates met with a group of MP’s at the Palace of Westminster and later presented the petition at Number 10 Downing Street.
Below are seen a small set of photographs illustrating the events of that day.

150,000plus signatures requires a lot of paper !
I should like to thank Richard Worrall, Andrea Stanton and Pat Turner for their help in compiling this article.
