Honoured to unveil a plaque for Jill Viner, London's trailblazing first female bus driver.

Every local authority in England must now report the number of potholes they fix to unlock their share of £500m extra funding.
This will allow councils to fill the equivalent of 7 million potholes annually, as part of the Government's Plan for Change. 🚧💷

Today marks an important step forward as we extend powers for local authorities to bring buses back under public control.
I’ve just signed the legislation to expand the tools available to deliver better bus services in every community 🚌.
