The Great British Summer Savings for children under 16 to travel free in August is great.

Plus announcements from the Prime Minister for the £2 bus fare cap and 24-hour concession for disabled people are all really welcome. And emerging news to extend bus routes in Thanet.

Summer might be nearly over, BUT there’s still time to get out and about! 😎

Until 31 August, children under 16 can travel for free by bus as part of the Great British Summer Savings scheme. 🚌

It’s a great opportunity for families to make the most of the last few days of the holidays. Whether that’s a special day out, having a beach day, tripping to Canterbury or one last Summer adventure!

So if you haven’t taken advantage of it yet, there’s still time.

📢🚨And in case you missed it we have more good bus news in Thanet this week. Great results for local community bus campaigners, but still more to do!
🚌Saving the number 9 and extending direct routes to Canterbury
🚌Extended 24 hour travel for Disabled passengers announced by Prime Minister
🚌Announcement of £2 pound bus price cap

We want Kent County Council to approve fairer funding for Thanet from Government Bus Subsidy Scheme. Thanet has a huge demand for a good bus service.

No one should sleep out in the cold.

That's why Labour will offer every rough sleeper a way off the streets by Christmas.

Britain is ready to build renewable power that communities own, with profits staying in the places that generate it.

Meanwhile, Reform is campaigning to stop that generation and telling us to enjoy the heat instead.

The Local Power Plan will put clean generation in local hands.

We need a national conversation about prison spaces and how we can best protect the public and ensure serious offenders face toughest penalties.

Real progress is being made. No one wants to see dangerous small boat crossings and we need a government who can address this robustly.

We don't have time to play performative politics and that works for no one. Well said Andy Burnham
