The Northern Agenda: Oliver Coppard on South Yorkshire's buses | Tris Brown on 100 ideas for the North

On The Northern Agenda podcast this week Rob Parsons speaks to Oliver Coppard, the recently-elected Labour mayor of South Yorkshire.  The mayor describes his first few weeks in the job where he's had to wrestle with the impact of devastating bus cuts which will see only four services running after 10pm across his whole patch from October. And Rob also speaks to Tris Brown, one of two passionate Northerners behind the '100 ideas for the North' project. When we talk about political ideas which might impact on our lives in the North, generally the conversation turns to big projects or concepts, like HS2 or Levelling Up. But could it be that smaller ideas, if they're good enough and can be replicated across our region, could help change a local community or even be felt further afield? The Northern Agenda is a Laudable production for Reach. It is presented by Rob Parsons and Daniel O'Donoghue, and it is produced by Daniel J. McLaughlin.
