Wiltshire County Council has been accused of spending £7m on roads that may never be built (including Westbury bypass)
... and over five million of that relates to three schemes that parallel the "TransWilts" Rail line. That's money into two schemes that have already died, and money into the Westbury bypass scheme which is still undecided. They're also talking in the article of a further scheme on ... you guessed it ... the TransWilts corridor. The success rate for these schemes to be accepted seems pretty poor - and the money spent on feasability studies alone is an order of magnitude more than is needed to put on a decent TransWilts train service. I'm happy to see that the council appreciates the need to provide better transport along this corridor but why, oh why, can't they put it into something greener, faster, cheaper, and much more likely to happen than yet another road proposal? |
