Like most councils, there's been a bit of talk from Hartlepool about the council taking back control of the buses. I find it a bit Pot Kettle Black as the council acted just as rashly as Stagecoach when they reduced their bus subsidy budget to £0 with no public consultation. Since they've frittered away money on things such as purchasing a property to stop it being used for asylum seekers. Losing a legal battle around keeping said asylum seekers. Finding a loss making cafe vanity project (cafe in the crem) and binning a town plan it cost over £1m to produce.

I'm against QCS in principle but I think Hartlepool would be a perfect case study for those in favour.
