Just when we thought it was dead and buried, the controversial LCC Rapid Transport Scheme is up and running again! Thousands of frustrated motorists will soon be giving way to speeding buses.

Parking restrictions and double yellows will appear overnight. Traffic lights will favour the bus pass minority travellers.

Great Harwood will have a new bus terminal it doesn't want.

The £800,000 bribe regeneration money promised to Great Harwood has apparently vapourised overnight under the new proposals.

Community Section 106 money from the Town's Tesco development,which is designed to help planning applicants oil the wheels of the bureaucratic planning process in their favour, has allegedly been literally swallowed up by the Capita bosses in cups of tea, salaries, expenses (and producing a few inaccurate drawings showing two adjacent pelican crossings) on a scheme that has not even yet received approval from the Department of Transport.

I feel sure Tesco bosses fronting tens of thousands of pounds will not want to be associated, or pleased to learn, that their money has been squandered on a project that nobody seems to want except for the boffins at County Hall.

Please lobby your local and County Councillors to stop this ridiculous scheme going ahead.

I say to the directors of Capita, Give us back our Tesco 106 money so it can be spent on REAL projects in Great Harwood and not squandered by men in stripped suits who live in posh villages serviced by one bus a week.

IH Wilkinson, Great Harwood.
