BRIDGE IS A GREAT FARCE

8 August 2005

I Am sure that you continue to receive many letters of protest about the treatment meted out to the Slip Bridge by Swansea Council, but I must nevertheless add my own. Every day I pass the ludicrous sight on one of Swansea's most famous landmarks, left to look like wreckage that has been washed ashore following an exceptionally high tide.

I cannot begin to understand the thinking behind such a bizarre decision. Nor can I fathom how they thought that the majority of Swansea people would be happy with the result.

The only certainty involved is that we do not need another referendum to confirm that they have turned Swansea into a laughing stock.
