04/08/2026 - FREE BUS TRAVEL FOR CHILDREN THIS AUGUST - CHESHIREEAST.GOV.UK

On 4 August 2026, the Cheshire East Council announced that bus travel will be free for children during the month of August. The announcement was posted on the council’s official website (cheshireeast.gov.uk).

The council’s brief statement confirms the offer but does not specify age ranges, routes, or the exact duration of the free rides beyond the August period. No additional eligibility criteria or application procedures were disclosed in the announcement.

The decision, made at the beginning of summer, may ease transportation for families during school holidays, though the council has not outlined a broader policy context or funding details.

• Free bus travel for children in Cheshire East is available for the entire month of August 2026.
• Details on age eligibility, specific routes, or application requirements were not provided.
