I have to strongly push back on this.
It's arguably only because of GGM's successful lobbying of SNP and Labour MSPs and cross-party members of the Transport Committee that the Transport Bill (2019) eventually contained provisions for full council ownership of bus networks. These powers weren't contained in the original draft bill, and it took a Labour amendment and extensive lobbying of cross-party MSPs to ensure it passed.
Councils have powers, but are predominantly taking a slowly slowly approach. |
