CITY GEM IS IN DANGER

14 February 2005

Here we go again. Will the truth about the Slip Bridge ever be known? A recent letter from Councillor Hedges tells us that there was money set aside for the repair of the bridge.

That's the first I've heard of this! This statement raised several questions:Was it enough?

Why has the previous administration not put pressure on the present rules to get on with the repair work?

What will happen to the money if the bridge is not put back in its rightful place?

And, what about answering the question, which has been raised time and time again, concerning the infamous survey.

Why, if the majority of the respondents were in favour of replacing the bridge, has work not yet begun?

One of your correspondents mentioned the Patti Pavilion.

I was there in November for the Green Fair and it was plain to see the building is not being cared for.

Will the citizens of Swansea lose yet another cultural gem due to the irresponsibility of the council?
