THE YORKSHIRE Party has claimed that the mass transit system proposed by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority is just ‘lines on a map’ without the devolved powers and budget to deliver it. Yorkshire Party leader, Bob Buxton, said: “I welcome the ambition of these proposals, having called for new transport systems since 2014. It’s early days and the people of West Yorkshire need to be consulted and listened to, to get the details right - but the concept is a good one.” “Good ideas are just the start - there’s no budget to deliver anything. The new mayor won’t have nearly enough spending power and our region’s share of the £4.2bn Urban Transport Fund won’t cover it either – if we get anything at all.”
