I agree. Neither party is going to do great things for Merseyside unless you get rid of all of the egotistical twits and corrupt people. Doesn't matter which party they are a member of, it's the personal characteristics which let Merseyside down.

I don't see that happening any time soon, because there's zero incentive for experienced people to move up a level into roles within an LTA.

Anyone who has half a clue what they are doing is likely to push back against the nonsense that is thrown at them by Rotherham and councillors. That is why there will never be anyone who knows what they are doing in the roles at Merseytravel. Councillors and Rotherham want cheerleaders and yes people, not someone who is going to be realistic and push back on requests and call out BS such as their 'Launch of the Hydrogen Buses' or the 'First Peek' which was actually an electric bus from London , not hydrogen by for Merseyside etc.
