Leader: Tram success? Think walking on water
Few on the council can feel happy with this. But it is the best solution on offer – all this assuming the details are nailed down and in place within the next fortnight. Meanwhile, officials have drafted in consultants – an ever- replenishing pool in Scotland’s capital, it seems – to review how the project is run, with local-authority-owned tram developer Tie likely to be wound up. Few tears will be shed given the management’s record and the money – including legal fees – burnt up getting to this stage. As more disruption looms for Princes Street, residents are left with a grim determination to finish this accursed project as soon as possible: that would be miracle enough.
