YET ANOTHER LANDMARK DISAPPEARING

07 February 2005

Here we go again. More council spin designed to soften us up in advance of yet another Swansea landmark disappearing. Instead of having the guts to come out with a straightforward statement about the future of the Slip Bridge, we have the usual rule nothing in, rule nothing out verbiage from Swansea Council leader Chris Holley.

It is obvious that he and his colleagues never had any intention of putting back this historic structure. They have just wasted time and public money on a pointless consultation exercise and should be surcharged by the district auditor.

It is scandalous that we have a council administration that is so determined to dismantle the plans of their Labour predecessors that they are also blindly destroying our heritage.
