Government 'Thought' When Instigating 'Policies

Having just had my local community magazine delivered which contains an article by my local LibDem councillor, an interesting fact emerges.

In discussing where our Council Tax 'goes' in West Oxfordshire, our councillor mentions the subject of concessionary bus passes and she says that, locally, a sum of £1million has had to be 'set aside' to cover the cost, of which central government only contributes around one hundredth!

Now what was that quote - oh yes ""of designing projects so badly that it was impossible for them to be properly evaluated"

So the next time Gordon Brown boasts his government has provided free bus passes we can all shout - "Oh no you didn't - 90% of us did!"
