In this country, Osborne has alll the power and LA's have all the responsibilitity. People always blame the nearest, rather than think who is "guilty".

I know budgets have been reduced by central government but I also know local councils seem to have their favourite areas for spending the remaining budget. In Cheshire East the Crewe & Nantwich area seems to get new services if existing subsided ones get their subsidy reduced. For instance, the Nantwich to Wrexham service is a new subsided one albeit infrequent. In the Macclesfield area the 27 service and 130 Sunday and Bank Holiday service have gone commercial and no new subsided services have been introduced.
