Conservative-led Warwickshire County Council is set to take its case against HS2 railway plans to the Government...
The county council says it has been working with other councils opposing HS2 along the route, and action groups and HS2 Ltd to “gather data” about HS2.Would this be the same Warwickshire County Council that is funding opposition to HS2 and at the same time withdrawing support for local bus services after 7pm.
It surely is!
Warwickshire CC’s portfolio holder for transport and highways, Coun Peter Butlin, said the authority was left with little choice but to axe the services once their grant was cut.
“The only way we could balance our budgetary responsibility and keep providing services was to target the areas where there are fewer customers,” he added.
“It’s unpalatable, but it’s a fact of life".
Indeed it is - unpalatable that is.
