Guided Busway Secrecy and Delays

Workmen have discovered a structural threat to a crucial part of the Guided Busway network.

Cambridgeshire County Council were informed that rainwater pouring off the raised section of track on the viaduct could damage the structure and lead to it crumbling in future years. They dealt with this information by trying to keep the newly found problem a secret.

Unfortunately for them the secrecy didn't last very long.

It's disappointing to have to say this once again but the Conservative County Councils' instinct for secret meetings and back room deals is keeping the tax-paying public in the dark about exactly what their money is being spent on.

If this had been handled in an open and transparent way then a lot of the misunderstandings around these problems could have been avoided - I don't think anyone would dispute that.

I'm sure openness at the County (as well as in the City, Westminster, and Brussels) is something we will be debating for many years to come.
