The city's mayor called Sturgeon’s travel ban from Scotland to Manchester and Salford 'unnecessary', saying ‘it would have been nice if she ‘had contacted us beforehand to discuss it.’

And will they be providing any compensation for Greater Manchester residents whose trips are now being cancelled or businesses here losing bookings?And not a higher standard – the same standard that the Scottish Government demands of others.

Restrictions announced in May, prohibiting non-essential travel to Bolton, Blackburn and Darwen due to the rapid spread of the Delta variant, will remain in force. Mr Burnham called out Nicola Sturgeon on Twitter – demanding compensation for those affected by the restrictions ‘Anyone else travelling elsewhere in the Greater Manchester or Lancashire area I’d ask to think carefully about whether your journey is really necessary because we do see cases rising across that region.’
