64% of people opposed to Bridge - Page 2

WCC is holding another round of consultation on the bridge. The only parties who seem to be involved are those who generally support it, or can be won round; everyone who opposes the bridge seems to have been left out (ie. the residents of Stratford).

After the 'consultation' WCC can claim total support for the bridge & work can begin.

Sigh.

I wonder why they chose to do that eh? sigh

I'm rather hoping somebody blows the bloody thing up once its built..Perhaps the council would finally get the message then!

Not sure if Stratford District Council are involved either - they're opposed to the bridge too.

Found this article on the BBC website. WCC take note!

They'll probably dye the grass green next like the Brummies did for President Clinton.

I've just read in the Midweek News that WCC is probably going to drop bridge idea on the grounds that the whole thing is getting too expensive & it's a vote loser.
However, Advantage West Midlands is still making the £2m available for World Class Stratford.

Cool, they can build some pretty ridiculous and monstrous stuff with two Million pounds, I'm sure they will as well.

That's good news about the bridge though, it was utterly pointless.

Maybe some fire appliances to go with the new tower attached to the theatre...?

Lex you are far too cynical...In fact this tower will actually save money as you quite rightly say it can be used as as a tourist attraction (blimey who on earth authorised that blot on the landscape a tourist was over heard to say!) and a firemans practice tower on rescuing people from tall buildings..see the council's planning dept are not as stupid as we thought!

If they were, then they wouldn't be able to find their way to work in the morning...
