WATCH is tracking the reported £500,000 work connected with bus reform and the developing Sussex strategic-authority arrangements.
The case is focused on what the £500,000 funds, who controls the work, what deliverables have been commissioned and how the work relates to future regional transport powers.
The commissioning route, recipient organisations, contract or grant terms, milestones, published outputs and how value for money will be measured.
Transport is likely to be a significant area of regional decision-making. Spending undertaken during the transition should be traceable and understandable before new structures are fully established.
