LET US SEE BRIDGE VOTE

28 February 2005

The Lib Dems in Swansea are economical with the truth. Councillor Chris Holley said on Swansea Sound on Sunday, February 13, that most of the consultation cards on the slip bridge issue that were returned were in favour of the bridge being put back at its original site.

But because only two per cent responded, they were disregarded.

After a cabinet meeting the Lib Dems informed the Evening Post on February 18 that a public consultation failed to find a consensus on what to do with the slip bridge, so the cabinet decided to resite it.

In a democratic voting structure, the Aye and No votes should be independently counted and published for all to see.

The Lib Dems are trying to override the citizens of Swansea before the votes have been made public and we have yet to see the figures on the consultation votes.

Their decision to move the slip bridge against the people's wishes is outside their authority.
