No Cambridge Busway but Council Pays
This would appear to perhaps not be the best news for the taxpayers of Cambridgeshire County Council, who seem to be paying for the busway.
Millions of pounds will be handed over to the team building the guided bus – and then council chiefs will claw the cash back.
Cambridgeshire County Council has borrowed £40 million in order to pay for the work up front.
But it insists taxpayers will not be a penny out of pocket on the £116 million bill originally agreed with contractors BAM Nuttall.
As I said in an earlier post, this is looking more and more like one for the lawyers.
But we still haven’t got an opening date for busway.
