SLIP UP OVER SLIP BRIDGE

20 July 2005

This week there has been much debate about the Slip Bridge being relocated. Sitting in the inevitable hot weather traffic jam on Oystermouth Road gives one time to reflect on how the powers that be missed an opportunity to relocate this historic bridge to Blackpill.

There it would have been put to good use in allowing parents and children to pass unhindered and unhindering from Clyne to the excellent and well used paddling pool.

Surely payback would come from the considerable reduction in pollution produced by thousands of idling cars and buses.
