England has now progressed to Step 4, meaning most legal restrictions to control Covid-19 have been lifted. The Government is no longer instructing people to work from home if they can and the requirement to wear face coverings in law will be lifted. However, the Government expects and recommends that people wear face coverings in crowded areas such as public transport.
We are expecting many employers and employees will look to adopt a much more flexible, hybrid way of working going forward. It is important that we all think about how we get around when commuting or travelling on business and opt for sustainable transport (walking, cycling, car sharing, bus, train, scooter) whenever we can to help avoid congestion, improve air quality and tackle the climate emergency.
We have included information and links here to help you find greener ways of travelling which can also be really enjoyable ways to get around.
