Commuting by Bike, Salons Post-Covid and Stressed Flat Owners

Available for over a year

What impact has the Covid-19 crisis had on treatment and waiting lists in the NHS in England? We are barely out of spring but small communities around the UK are already thinking about Christmas and how the pandemic may affect them come Christmas. Several are wondering about Christmas Lights; will there be a big switch on; will there be any at all? Well not in Mousehole in Cornwall. Twenty million people own a bike but only a fraction use them to ride to work - what would it take to get you out of your car for your commute? When hair dressers and barbers get the all clear to re-open their businesses they'll be a high demand for their services but social distancing means that salons will operate differently than in the past ... and it'll likely cost you more too. On Friday the government will publish its third report into the progress to make flats safe from dangerous cladding following the Grenfell fire. Today the Cladding UK Action Group have published their report in the toll on the mental health of people living in a home that's worthless, a potential firetrap and which for many will cost more than they can afford to fix.
