PUT THE SLIP BRIDGE BACK

23 February 2005

Those who speak by the yard and think by the inch should be kicked by the foot, were my thoughts on Swansea Council's decision to move the Slip Bridge to another site. It was like celebrating New Year's Eve on April 1.

It makes one wonder where all the money to pay for this has suddenly come from.Has someone got a genie in the lamp?

Will the council truthfully inform its citizens why they want to relocate the Slip Bridge?

Do they realise the cost of removing the bridge in its entirety would be much more than the initial quote?

The Slip Bridge must be replaced in its original location, it would be the cheapest method and in 10 years' time we will celebrate its centenary.
