Bus drivers in South Yorkshire are set to go on strike on the same day a popular gin festival takes place in Sheffield.

Bus drivers in Sheffield will strike on Saturday, June 29 and Monday, July 1; impacting services in Sheffield, Doncaster, Rotherham and across South Yorkshire.

A total of 900 drivers are involved after rejecting the ‘insulting’offer of a one year pay freeze, the drivers’ union Unite has said.
