ESPONSIBILITY for the city section of the Greater Edinburgh Transportation Survey should be undertaken by Edinburgh Corporation, believes the city's planning committee. The inquiry will cover Edinburgh, Livingston, Crrangemouth, Falkirk, Central Fife, Midlothian and the section south of Edinburgh from Penicuik to Longniddry, together with the area centred round Galashiels. Four firms of consultants have been appointed to conduct the survey. Mr. F. R. Dinnis, city engineer, told the planning committee that he considered they should approach the survey "with a great deal or caution" and not get themselves involved in a very expensive exercise which, while producing very interesting and fascinating facts and figures might, at the end of the day, be largely irrelevant.
Mr. Dinnis did know that in other places the cost ran into tremendous figures and he said that he had yet to be convinced that this expenditure was justified. However, he did not want to give the impression that there was no need for the survey. "In Edinburgh we badly need a lot of information on what was existing in the city", he said.
Chairman of the committee, Cllr. Millar, said that they had done a lot of work already and had the capacity to do more. He suggested that they should accept the responsibility and work in cooperation with the consultants.
Eastbourne's Better Year: Eastbourne Corporation Transport had a net surplus of £4,580 in the year ended March 31 last, compared with a deficit of E2,684 in the previous year. Income at £313,636 compared with £279,455 in 1965.
