Maybe, just maybe, the trough of gold for hare-brained pan-Govt schemes will now have a lid put on it (Yes Mr Longworth & Co, I'm looking at you) It won't excuse what's gone before but when was that ever a consideration? But it may at last bring some accountability for the future. Will ? I'm not sure ! Why change a habit of a lifetime ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it may at last bring some accountability for the future. I doubt many are able to modify their behaviour after 30 years of pissing money against the wall. Treasury is going to have to be brutal if it wants to make savings to adjust to the huge drop in tax revenue it’s going to see. This move is simply to get what they always wanted. If you look at the strip of red concrete outside the Tower House there’s no provision for rails in it unlike the bits completed elsewhere. That was laid months ago. They never had any intention of laying the rails on that stretch. They‘be now just found a more convenient excuse than just lying about it like they usually do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The planned single tram track wasn’t in the middle, was it? So why would they put a flower bed in the middle? Basically means they aren’t going to build a bloody big statue of @Derek Flint ( or some other comedian ) across where the lines may eventually get laid. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was laid months ago. They never had any intention of laying the rails on that stretch. They‘be now just found a more convenient excuse than just lying about it like they usually do. That red strip, on Loch Promenade is nothing to do with the tramlines. It just signifies the future centre of the roadway. I know its a bit odd that they've used the same colour as they used for the tramlines at the opposite end, but that's how it is. On Loch Prom, the tramlines are/were, going to be on the seaward side, tight to the outside wall of the gardens. So, what we'll end up with, is a much narrower road, reduced parking, and a long, pointless strip of grass, from the Sefton, to the Sea Terminal. I'm not a great fan of the trams, but this all about getting incompetent civil servants off the hook by creating a fog around the plans, specification and the finances, so they don't go over budget, and having to explain themselves. This has Black and Longworth's paw prints, all over it. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
