UGLY, LOVELY SLIP BRIDGE

20 April 2005

An investigation into the Slip Bridge issue (Watchdog could probe Slip Bridge saga, Post, April 8) by the local government ombudsman is not a day too soon and should be pursued before the Swansea administration carries out its latest insidious and injudicious act, resiting the span of the bridge apart from its original abutments.

The anti-bridge brigade who criticise the bridge by calling it unsightly and a monstrosity should remember Dylan Thomas's words: "Swansea's an ugly lovely town."
