The Labour ran council, headed by Joe Anderson had an obvious disinterest in making buses a priority for the city - the man was also behind the removal of buses from the Pier Head simply as he did not want them near where he resided.

Politicians do not sign off design and traffic modelling, they sign off decisions on funding and sometimes contract awards. Also when traffic modelling schemes are in the design phase, both Merseytravel and the bus operators are consulted and given the opportunity to comment or object, that is the process, trust me I know what I'm talking about. It was however a political decision to suspend the bus lanes taken by the Mayor, why he done that you will have to ask him
