By the time you read this column, Professor Glenn Lyons and I will have done our turn at this year's Transport Practitioners' Meeting (TPM) in Greenwich, picking up the work we did late last year with an informed group of fellow professors to identify and craft a set of questions we thought needed to be addressed by those taking decisions on roads spending. I'm not going to go back over those questions here; go have a look at our Road Investment Scrutiny Panel report* if you haven't already done so. Thinking about what might be most interesting to draw from this work for the TPM audience, we found ourselves reflecting on whether the task of taking those spending decisions could ever be a wholly or largely technocratic exercise. |
