Rutland Introduces £1 Capped Bus Fares for Young People Starting This September

Rutland County Council is set to launch a new travel initiative this September, introducing a capped £1 single bus fare for young people across the county. Designed to make public transport significantly more accessible and affordable, the scheme aims to ease financial pressures on local families while empowering youth to travel more independently.

Beginning in September 2026, the £1 single fare will be available to all eligible residents aged 5 to 19. Whether young people need to commute to school or college, travel to work, meet up with friends and family, or take part in local activities, the initiative covers the wide range of journeys they make every day.

Accessing the scheme involves straightforward guidelines tailored to different age groups. Children aged 5 to 10 will automatically benefit from the £1 cap without needing any special documentation. However, for those aged 11 to 19, securing the discount requires a free Young Person’s Discount bus pass. Applications for these passes are open now, giving parents, carers, and teenagers ample time to get organized before the fares take effect in September. Once children currently aged 10 turn 11, they will similarly need to transition to holding a pass to keep receiving the capped rate.

Cllr Oliver Hemsley, Cabinet Member for Transport, emphasised the community benefits of the program, stating that the council wants to make bus travel an affordable and accessible option that removes cost as a barrier to independent travel. He noted that the initiative will give families greater choice in how they navigate daily routines, from education to extracurricular pursuits.

This fare-capping measure forms a key component of Rutland County Council’s broader strategy to improve local public transport networks and encourage more residents to consider buses for everyday travel.

Families and young people interested in learning more about the scheme, reviewing eligibility requirements, or submitting an application for a bus pass can visit the official web page: https://www.rutland.gov.uk/rutland-buses/bus-passes/young-persons-discount-bus-pass

Local Councillor Clears Path After Distressing Incident Involving Mobility Scooter User at Cutts Close Park, Oakham

An investigation and community response are underway following a distressing incident in Cutts Close Park, Oakham, yesterday evening (Thursday, 6th August) that has left local residents shocked.

Around 5:00 PM yesterday, a man using a mobility scooter entered Cutts Close Park and reportedly dropped a container of human ashes onto the ground. Following the incident, a confrontation occurred near the park's skatepark, with witnesses reporting that the man on the mobility scooter was assaulted by a teenager.

Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, with two police officers and a paramedic arriving to assist. Witnesses confirmed that while the man received medical evaluation at the scene, he was not transported to the hospital and was assaulted after the police had departed.

Residents living near the park contacted local Councillor Martin Brookes this morning (7th August) expressing concern that remnants of the ashes remained scattered on the public footpath.

Attempts by Cllr Brookes to reach the grounds maintenance team for immediate assistance were unsuccessful as calls went unanswered. Demonstrating prompt community care, Cllr Brookes personally attended the location and cleared the path using water.

Cllr Brookes is deeply concerned for the welfare of the man involved and is appealing to the Oakham community for information.

"I would like anyone who knows the man to contact me. I want to know if he is okay and if he would like any assistance retrieving the remainder of the ashes left at the edge of the path."
Cllr Martin Brookes

Anyone who can identify the man or has information regarding his whereabouts is urged to get in touch with Cllr Martin Brookes directly via email at mbrookes@oakhamtowncouncil.gov.uk.
