Surely someone should be investigating this alleged corrupt practice - but hopefully not the HBC employee who screwed up the Taxi Fare increases at considerable cost to the public purse.

One hopes that someone has the responsibility for overseeing local transport.

As an aside - the money lost on the taxi screw up would probably have paid for the subsidised trips to Blackpool etc. - so who pays for a screw up by a jobsworth, well of course it is the poor public.
