Labour turf wars
Thursday, 20 October 2005
Strathclyde Passenger Transport is due to be replaced by a Regional Transport Partnership in the not too distant future.   In order to start the process for a smooth transition, Labour-controlled SPT arranged an informal meeting for RTP councillors on Friday 21st.   However, the 3 dominant (and Labour-controlled) councils (Glasgow, North & South Lanarkshire) called for a boycott of the meeting!   It was then cancelled.

Cllr John Mason who is a member of SPT and has been nominated by Glasgow to be on the RTP said, "This does seem to be another case of jockeying for position in the Labour ranks.   It looks as if the 3 councils felt that SPT did not know its place and had to be stamped down.   I just hope the passengers don't suffer while Labour councillors engage in power struggles behind closed doors."
