RE the article "Councillor slams banks' cash plan" (Citizen March 16) I couldn't agree more with Coun Alan Vincent.

This government is taking away pensioners' right of choice as to how they have their pension paid.

Pensioners I know have said that if they had known their pensions would be paid a month behind they would not have chosen a bank. MPs should be fighting against it.

The local post office is more convenient to pensioners.
