  I think Mr Matcham may have a point; as a government advisor quoted fairly recently "most ideas that seem bad are bad but great ideas also seem at first like bad ideas — otherwise someone would have already done them." This particular scheme had the advantage of being so bad that KCC (or whoever) paid workers to remove it again, thus doubling the Keynesian economic effect. The only downside was that, unlike the scheme to put money in the hands of outgoing county councillors, it fouled-up traffic flows for a time.
