Lifting the Lockdown

Panorama is in Salford as the city lifts the lockdown and tries to get its community back to work. But with the council approaching bankruptcy, can services be sustained?

Panorama has been given unique access in Salford as the city lifts the lockdown and tries to get its community and economy back to work. Following the mayor and his team, this programme looks at the burden that has fallen on local councils and shows the work done by teachers, bus drivers and those helping the homeless. But for Salford it has been expensive. With the threat of bankruptcy looming, can the council provide the support and services the community needs to get them through the next phase of the health and economic crisis they face?
