The media relations chief of the largest transport authority outside London is quitting his job to set up his own PR consultancy.
Mik Barton, media manager for Centro-PTA in the West Midlands, is to leave his post in March after three years steering public sector coverage for the region's bus, rail and tram network. He plans to concentrate on PR work for the public and not-for-profit sector, but not necessarily on transport.


Derby MP Bob Laxton is promising to take the Evening telegraph's Anything to Declare campaign to Westminster.
The campaign was launched just before Christmas after it was revealed that former Derby City Council leader Maurice Burgess had a conviction for child abuse when he was elected to the authority in 1994. It calls for a change in the law to make it obligatory for election candidates to declare any convictions in their nomination forms, and for councils to verify these statements through police checks if the individuals are elected.
