Glasgow Corporation Transport were keen to buy buses from local builders from the time they started buying buses, the 1924 trial batches included five bought from Halley of Yoker. Scotstoun-built Albions were purchased from the late 1920s until 1953 when the last was bodied.
In 1951 Albion Motors shareholders agreed a take-over by Leyland Motors of the eponymous Lancashire town. Some years prior to this the Albion directors had decided to discontinue their double-deck Venturer bus chassis.
As a political sop, from the later PD2 Titans until the late batches of PDR1 Atlanteans, Leyland buses for Glasgow carried Leyland-Albion badges. This one is on the front of Mr Philip Blair’s nicely looked after L405, a Titan PD3/2.
Young people in Knowsley were given the chance to express their views to councillors in an event to mark Local Democracy Week.
The theme for the week - from Monday 12th to Sunday 18th October - is Take Part, Take Power. It aims to make people, especially young people, more aware of their local council, what it does, how it works with its partners and why it's important to get involved in local decision-making.
To celebrate and promote Local Democracy Week Knowsley Youth Parliament (KYP) organised a lively ‘Speak Up’ discussion where councillors and the authority’s chief officers heard about the KYP’s current campaigns.
Better access to sex and relationship education, improving public transport and addressing the negative stereotypes often associated with young people are among this year’s campaign themes.
The evening continued with ‘Political Speed Dating’, a light hearted way for young people to spend three minutes chatting to councillors and senior managers about everything from their current political thinking to their favourite football team.
The prestigious title of Youth Champion 2009 was then awarded to the councillor with the highest political speed dating score of the night.
Jessica Smith, age 15 from Prescot who attended the event’, said:
“I think political speed dating and ‘speak up’ discussion are a great way to get us thinking about just how much local politics do affect our day to day lives.
“I’ve found out about the work going on in Knowsley designed to improve services for young people and how I can make sure my views are feeding into that decision making process.
“Local Democracy Week has been so good that we now hope to meet with Councillors and Chief Officers regularly throughout the year so we can share our views and ideas with them more often”
Cllr Graham Wright, Knowsley Council’s Cabinet Member for Children’s Services, said:
“It’s really important that politicians like me and senior managers hear first-hand what young people have to say about the services they receive and the issues that affect their lives.
“’Speak Up’ provided an excellent opportunity to find out more about the important issues Knowsley Youth Parliament Members are campaigning for on behalf of the borough’s young people. Working together we can seek solutions.”
Damian Allen, Executive Director of Children and Family Services, said:
“I was impressed by the passion and commitment shown by Members of Knowsley Youth Parliament Member when telling us about their campaigns and feel sure that with their determination they will achieve the change they desire for young people across the borough.”

CLOSUP, the Ford School's Center for Local, State, & Urban Policy, held a discussion about the findings from the Michigan Public Policy Survey (MPPS), which asked leaders from 1,329 of Michigan's local governments to report on the future of public services in their jurisdictions in the aftermath of the Great Recession. The survey concluded that a majority of Michigan's local leaders think our system of funding local governments is broken. CLOSUP Director Barry Rabe, Program Manager Thomas Ivacko, and Project Manager Debra Horner presented on the survey findings and the solutions suggested by these leaders.
This event is part of the year-long celebration of President Ford's Centennial, honoring a citizen, public servant, and leader.
