PULLING THE WOOL OVER OUR EYES

17 February 2005

I Tend to agree with H Davies, of Mount Pleasant, in his view that Swansea Council is trying to pull the wool over our eyes about the Slip Bridge (Have Your Say, February 3).

There is far too much secrecy involved. What is behind all these other plans to sell off land and schools? All we seem to hear about are closures and buildings being pulled down or sold off.

Dynevor School was closed and now Bishop Gore could go the same way.

Will our children benefit or will the council just get richer?

What worries me is that the news comes out in dribs and drabs. It feels like our city is slowly being sold off to the pawnbrokers.
