The Government has provided £4.6 billion of un-ringfenced funding to local authorities to support them with the pressures they are facing as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.

The Department has also allocated more than £70 million to local transport authorities, enabling them to increase dedicated home to school and college transport capacity over the autumn term. We are reviewing funding arrangements for the spring term.
