PROTEST group the Freedom Riders will celebrate a full year of campaigning on Tuesday by holding another protest.
The group, which is fighting for the return of free train travel and free bus travel before 9.30am for pensioners, will meet at the train station at 11am.
They will then make their way through the interchange, rally at the front of the bus station and then march through town.
Speakers include their old ally, Tosh Macdonald, president of train drivers' union ASLEF, and Paul Russell, Yorkshire regional secretary of the National Pensioners' Convention.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
