What do the scrutineers do and what guidelines do they work to?

Re: Accrington's new bus station "to be"
 

Well as far as I'm aware they make sure that the cabinet are keeping to the rules set down, but I think the only explanation about why its done and what the parameters are, we would have to ask one of our councillor members, which is very hard work seeing they don't set foot on here anymore just in case they are asked to explain there actions:rolleyes:;) When I was involved it was still the committee system of local government not this Cabinet bull shine.:(

Re: Accrington's new bus station "to be"
 

Who decide that it would cost 4 mill to build a bus station.
I thought firms had to put in tenders for the work, & they would come up with a price. Can't get my head round this fiasco.
If they build it there, then Union St will be a bus lane, front of Clown Hall will have to be reopened to traffic again, then getting out of Eagle St will be nigh on impossible, traffic backed up to Tesco, getting out of Willow St, at Eagle St end, might as well close Willow St. How many accidents in the first few weeks after they complete this cockup.
Retlaw.

I can now see why we need to spend millions on a new bus station.

I took the attached picture at 2.46 on Saturday afternoon, the height of the week regarding shopping in a town centre.

Clearly the bus turning in to Peel St is going to struggle to park up at any of the bus shelters with all those other buses in the way :rolleyes:
