Take the bus for FREE on Thursday 18 June for Clean Air Day!

If you don’t usually travel by bus, this is a great chance to give it a try - whether it’s the school run, the journey to work, or a trip across the city.

Bus services in Portsmouth have improved over the past few years, with more frequent and reliable routes, better waiting areas and more accessible vehicles. More people are already making the switch, with over one million bus journeys taking place in the city every month. On 18 June, you can see for yourself how easy it is.

Measles cases are rising in some parts of England. Vaccination is the most effective way to protect children from serious illness.

Parents can check their children are up to date with their vaccinations. If you're not sure, check your child's red book or speak to their GP practice. It’s never too late to catch up with any missed doses.
