Agencies act on disabled bus fares, school-road safety and crypto fraud across the South West and England
A Taunton road warning, nationwide free bus travel for disabled people and an Insolvency Service crypto crackdown show public bodies responding to everyday cost, access and safety risks.
A Taunton resident who has lived beside a narrow school route for more than eight decades has called on the council to act, warning that the road is increasingly dangerous, the Somerset County Gazette reported [1].
The warning came as the Department for Transport announced that eligible disabled people in England will be able to travel free on buses at any time, after the Prime Minister said the government would lift time restrictions on concessionary passes [2].
Separately, the Insolvency Service said it is taking action to shut down an unauthorised crypto investment firm after investors lost hundreds of thousands of pounds to a "Ponzi-style" scheme [3].
