Opposition leader Peter Britcliffe said: “This decision is disgraceful when there is a £250,000 underspend in council funds.
“The council are choosing to make older people suffer while cash sits there in the coffers.
“It was brought in because Hyndburn people couldn’t use bus passes to visit the coast, as people can in Preston and Manchester.
“It will have a devastating effect because the bus trips encourage people to have a more sociable and healthier lifestyle.
