YOU CAN'T PLEASE ALL OF THE PEOPLE

Evening Post Editorial - 9 July 2005

There's a very great risk that in years to come it will become known as Holley's Folly. If that is the case, it will be a tad unfair - one person shouldn't shoulder all the blame for one of Swansea Council's most clumsy decisions.

It probably started with the foolish desire of trying to please all the people - a £35,000 consultation exercise which Mr Holley was forced to admit was a mistake.

The Slip Bridge move, due to be carried out this weekend, is about as bonkers as you can get.A rusting relic is renovated and then placed on the foreshore so that it's a bridge which isn't a bridge.

We can think of 120,000 reasons why the Slip Bridge should have been scrapped.
