UTTER WASTE OF OUR CASH

10 June 2005

Come and see Swansea's showpiece waste of money. These were my thoughts as I drove passed the Slip Bridge - now entombed in scaffolding poles and polythene - on the Recreation Ground in Mumbles Road.

Surely the money being wasted on this farce would have been better spent in local schools and hospitals.

The bridge was an eyesore and should have been removed years ago.

I wait with foreboding the span being moved to the seafront.I hope Swansea Council, even at this late stage, will come to its senses and consign the bridge to the scrapyard where it belongs.
