Replacement for Airwave system hit by fresh delays despite project already costing more than £2bn

The proposed emergency services network (ESN), first announced in 2015, was supposed to have replaced the ageing Airwave system for police, fire and ambulance services in England, Scotland and Wales by 2020.
