Children are being dropped off to school well before they are due to start. Elderly people who struggle to use public transport are also being effected as this is having major impacts on arrival time for treatments especially when there are meant to be measures in place for social distancing also people who live in these effected areas are not being treated fairly when it comes to delivery's of essential items as drivers are having major issues getting in and out of these areas.
