Some bus services in the Melton area have been reduced and amended because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Centrebus says all services are operating as normal at present but the changes will come in from Monday.

The company has not ruled out making further service reductions if too many drivers need a period of self-isolation.

Those journeys where reduced or amended services will apply are the number 8 two-hourly service between Grantham and Loughborough via Melton and the RF1 Melton Mowbray to Corby via Oakham service.
