2020 - 26: Lifting the Lockdown

A report from Salford as the city lifts the lockdown and tries to get its community back to work. The programme follows the mayor and his team, looking at the burden that has fallen on local councils, and also showing the work done by teachers, bus drivers and those helping the homeless. But for Salford it has been expensive. With the threat of bankruptcy looming, can the council provide the support and services the locals need to get them through the next phase of the health and economic crisis?
