My despair yesterday, has turned to absolute disbelief this morning ...... today's Scotsman has a brief piece on the near complete gridlock that was the City Centre yesterday, which was a result of the start of tram works at The Mound - you can read the article here.
PLEASE have a look at the article - you'll note that the Chief Executive of TIE has at least apologised for the problems, but when the journalist asked the City Council to comment here's what happened:
"Despite the extent of the problems, the city council declined to comment on how the first day of the tram works had gone."
Absolutely unbelievable.
Thousands - no, probably tens of thousands - of commuters were affected by this yesterday and not one word from any Lib-Dem politician currently in charge of this project.
... actually, the likely truth is that no politician is currently in charge of this project :-(
In my darker (and generally uncharacteristic) moments of feeling 'less-than-charitable', I sometimes think the Lib-Dems in Edinburgh are metaphorically "out to lunch".
I've been badly mistaken - yesterday proves there's nothing metaphoric about it :-((
