Missing the bus

More than a year ago this blog drew attention to the threat facing rural bus routes. Later, while reporting the Star Chamber budget deliberations, I wrote:

"I have yet to find one single back-bench councillor who thinks it's a good idea to keep the £46,000 presence at the Royal Cornwall Show rather than make a similar size cut in rural bus subsidies - and yet this is precisely the choice recommended by the 10-member council Cabinet."
