Ministers hand councils and schools in England £256million for buses and trams to ensure kids can return to classrooms

MINISTERS have handed councils and schools in England £256million for buses and trams to ensure kids return to classrooms in September.

Roads Minister Baroness Vere added: “As we continue to open up the economy, more people are using public transport and need sufficient service levels in order to travel safely. Government medical advisers have warned that the biggest risk of schools reopening next month is possible local coronavirus spikes caused by pupils and parents travelling to and from the premises.

Downing Street reaffirmed Boris Johnson’s vow to ensure all schools will reopen fully at the start of the autumn term next month.
