SO MANY QUESTIONS

11 February 2005

We are assured by Councillor Mike Hedges (Have Your Say, February 3) that the previous Swansea council administration intended to replace the Slip Bridge and the money estimated for its repair was made available. Councillor Hedges does not say how much.

Shame on all those cynics (myself included) who thought that there was a hidden agenda to remove the slip Bridge.

It must have been pure coincidence that the new flats were built at such an angle that their view would be greatly enhanced by the removal of the bridge.

Of course, such cynicism is understandable. It was the same administration which assured us that the leisure centre was only going to be closed for a fortnight and there was certainly a hidden agenda there.

Curiously, Councillor Hedges tells us that there was a safety issue as pieces of concrete were falling off the buttresses.Why was is necessary to remove the steel span?

With the new Freedom of Information Act all the documents relating to this saga should be open for public scrutiny.

There are many questions to be answered.
