East Riding of Yorkshire Council has made alternative arrangements to ensure all school transport will continue, but some other services will be affected.

Claire Holmes, portfolio holder for planning, infrastructure and housing for the council, said: “Our transportation team has worked extremely hard to secure replacement buses for our contracted services during this industrial action.

“Thankfully, all school transport will be covered. Unfortunately, there are a few public services they were unable to find cover for. We hope residents understand in these circumstances.”
