Students in Birmingham have been advised to study from home more as their cash-strapped local authority axes local transport subsidies to balance its books.

Birmingham City Council’s cabinet will meet next week to agree its budget which includes savings worth £300 million.

Among over 200 proposed savings is a review of its non-statutory transport support for post-16 students.
