I don't get a care package from Medway council I am doing all the care myself without any help from them so I resent being charged for the companion card.

I think in other cases where carers do drive it is an unecessary cost on top of other bills. I don't think this helps the disabled person to get out more. It will keep them locked in a prison because they won't get out as much with their carer who has to continously pay. The choice is to pay £75 which seems extremely high considering it covers Medway.

You should all be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves.
How many of you A) have to rely on public transport in the first place and B) are forced to pay for a journey you do not wish to make but have to because the person you are with needs to make it?

sickening.

Shame on you Medway and government for allowing this.

We save to government a hefty packet by being carers and not reliying on the councils to provide care, so give us a break, our money can only stretch so far. Any little help we do get is used very wisely.

If you are 16 or over you can apply for a pass which means you pay half fare for single journeys, which means that the bus company is still making money as return fares are a lot cheaper. There are no concessions for carers.

Carers need support not increased charges.

Who are they kidding??
If you have to pay anything at all, then it's NOT free.
What do they think we are? Stupid??
I'd rather not travel!
Suppose you only do one journey - it's then cost you £75!!

Not to subsidise Medway Council or any other council for that matter. This is a disgrace.

It will affect access to the community of those who can most easily become isolated. Often it is the disabled who "pick up the tag" for their carer - and are on low incomes to start with. Those caring are often unwaged too, so that they can care for their loved one.
