| Comment | I didn't say anything about the city not implementing an expensive project properly. The M74 extension was implemented. It was very successful. (That was delivered by Transport Scotland, not GCC, but that's beside the point). I'm just saying this is extraordinary value for money as an infrastructure project, in terms of its scale and the knock on effects for health, opening up of equitable transport opportunities, neighbourhood economies, etc.
You can be raging at the council for cut backs (though the angers probably better aimed at the Scottish Govt and Westminster for passing on record funding cuts), and be raging at the delivery of services. But at the same time it's possible to welcome the planned delivery of what is essentially basic infrastructure in many other countries already. |
