HMMM. Here's a thought. Last week, Manchester announced it was going ahead with congestion charging. Up to £8 for a visit to the city centre, the experts reckon.
A week later, and against all the odds - betting odds, that is - Manchester lands a super casino, the first in the country.
Call me a cynic, but surely it's in the best interests of the Government to drum up as many visitors as possible for Manchester now it stands a chance of cashing in on them directly (and I'm sure the Government will get a share of a c-charge, even if it is because they will have to pay the councils less for transport projects in the future.)
Perhaps this is what Government means when ministers talk about joined-up thinking?
