WE'LL FIGHT TO SAVE BRIDGE

03 February 2005

According to the Evening Post we may be losing the Slip Bridge. The main cause for complaint seems to be expense. Does the council really believe it can hoodwink the people of Swansea in this way?

The longer the bridge is sitting in exile, the more work will need to be done to it. The bridge was removed for no real reason, supposedly needing examination.

It looked all right to most people when it landed on the Recreation Ground.

So are we in danger of losing another of our landmarks. I hope not.

What will we have left for this council to remove at will? There's the Guildhall for a start, that's a beautiful building - it can be replaced with one of those 20-storey glass boxes.

Then there is the beautiful Cenotaph. We mustn't forget the Patti Pavilion either, perhaps that will be next.

Swansea is becoming a tawdry conglomeration of drinking clubs and very little is done for the beauty of the city, we only have to look at Castle Square as proof of that.

We will fight to save the Slip Bridge.

Save our city and make it a lovely place for us to live and people to visit. Put back the Slip Bridge.
