ICYMI:

Last year the government pledged £6 million to tackle air pollution; local authorities spent time and resources to apply; 2 months ago they were told whether they were successful (and presumably planned rollout on this)… and today the government has withdrawn the money.

Election pledge from Sadiq Khan to bring London’s bus companies into public ownership run by London Bus company : “once contracts on routes came to an end, they would be reviewed to decide whether to bring them under the new public operator.”
