SIR - With reference to your article on free bus travel in England for the over-60s (Herts Advertiser, March 13). A St Albans District Council spokesperson was quoted as saying: "We sent off application forms to everyone who currently has a permit and have been liaising with them since last year." I would like to ask what this "liaising" entailed. Since completing and returning my application form to the district council on August 21 last year, I have heard nothing from them.

CAROL MINALL,

Marford Road, Wheathampstead.
