Earlier today, residents' cars were 'lifted' to paint double yellow lines on the road, then put down again ... and given a parking ticket. The ward councillor is furious, saying no notice was given of the plan

The short answer is no. There’s been no more information about how people stuck outside of Lima are to board a repatriation flight. One flight - prioritising the vulnerable has already left Lima and will arrive in Heathrow today.
