I’ve written recently about the logic-defying behaviour of this Mickey Mouse coalition we have, masquerading as a government, as it pertains to closing down tiny test centres (with huge overheads) in tiny villages and towns. One such being in Cumnock, Ayrshire.
Just take a look at this latest episode in the saga, as reported by the Carrick Gazette.
The most telling part is this:
Mike Penning said…“We will deliver driving tests in the community, where they should be, rather than a huge distance away, which was the previous Government’s policy.
“I have inherited that policy, but I will not continue with it.”
I said some months ago this was all because of the decision having been made under Labour – not because of any voter-centric philanthropy on Penning’s part.
So now the cuts will have to be made somewhere else in order to keep that two-up two-down terraced house in Cumnock operating as a driving test centre.
I wonder what will happen in Yeovil now that their test centre is moving? Fair enough, it’s only moving to somewhere else in Yeovil – but I’m sure some idiot driving instructor is already planning a campaign based on the extra ¾ mile (Yeovil is only about twice that distance end to end) some of them will probably have to travel.
