POLICE were called this morning to a school because a bus driver due to take children on a school trip was wrongly thought to be drunk.
An outing at the lower school site of Edmonton County School was delayed because staff, who believed a bus driver had turned up to the school drunk, called the police who then breathalysed him.
A police spokeswoman said: "There were concerns that he might be over the limit but the result was negative."
A member of the public, who refused to give his name, called the Independent because he said he was concerned for the children's safety.
It is not yet known why the driver was thought to be intoxicated.
