BLOT ON THE LANDSCAPE

19 April 2005

I, and many people I have spoken to, are shocked to read that Swansea Council is retaining the abutments of the Slip Bridge. At least the one on the land side is not so conspicuous, but the one on the sea side is nothing more than a big, dark, dirty, ugly carbuncle of an eyesore. What a dreadful blot on our beautiful shoreline.

I urge the council to think again. Use the supports on the land side if you must, but please - not the sea side. They have to go.

I also hope the council has set some money aside for a sand cleaning team to be available when we have one of our regular sand storms. If this area is to be developed , we can't allow it to resemble the Sahara Desert.

Evidence of last October's storms still lingers on the pavements.
