Government should back peddle on training cuts

摘要

I recently attended a meeting at which the Minister for Transport, Norman Baker was also present. I took the opportunity to raise my concerns that, because of the cutbacks in local authority revenue, funding training budgets had been slashed. Consequently, there is a distinct possibility that the staff of local authorities will be poorly prepared to face the challenge of delivering best practice and sustainable transport projects financed by Local Sustainable Transport Fund (L5TF) budgets.
