In fact he keeps getting promotions and I'm still unsure what he's done to deserve it. Absolute failure at the Metro when he was in charge, not that it's improved much since he's left either. Believe he's officially in charge of the transport side of this now aswell.

Tobyn hasn't really had a promotion. Just a sideways step to the authority, rather than the executive. He's director of Transport and NECA now.

I agree on Metro. Although it was privatised for much of his tenure, I struggle with how that contract was allowed to run for it's duration. The performance was disastrous for much of it.

Gannon is a Cllr and Portfolio holder. He'll have a level of delegated authority through the sub committee, I'd have thought, but the work of a local authority is carried out by officers. Councillors are just the decision makers (which is worrying, in this case)
