Quango we can't afford
3:10pm Thursday 7th February 2013 in Letters
I READ with interest the announcement of the creation of the new quango, the city regions organisation. In this time for austerity, do we want or need this group? Can we afford it? What is the purse set aside to fund it? And whose purse is it coming from? If it is the public purse, then this is clearly another ‘jobs for the boys’ set-up. Typical of our Labour administration, who trumpeted loud and clear that we would be having a bonfire of all the quangos. But what happened? How many did we get rid of? And how many have been created since Labour has been in power at the Assembly?
I can’t see much of a future for this group with Bob Wellington from Torfaen (not a city) as chairman and Russell Greenway from Cardiff as its deputy chairman. But hey ho, who asked us, the taxpayers?

What is the remit of this new organisation? What powers does it have? What budget does it have?
What consolation and involvement will the public have?
What are the time scales ?
What are the deliverables ?
Where is the project plan?
