"uneconomical to repair" - what does this mean? I can adk a friend to repair it for a fraction of the council cost - why is this not an option? Money wasted on closed Dulwich Village junction absolutely relevant - where does it come from? Why there is money to spend on closed DV and yet nothing left for the bridge in Dulwich Park - if this is a reason for the repair delays? -
The council can use money from PCNs on this type of thing, there is a category called Projects in Parks that they have spent revenue raised from PCNs etc on previously. I very much hope they find the money from somewhere. -
They haven't said it's because of "lack of money", they have said it's "uneconomical to repair", which is quite different! If they had spent a lot of money repairing it, some people would be complaining about that! I assume (and it's just an assumption, as obviously I am not privy to their thought processes) that they have decided that the amount of money necessary to repair it would be better put towards a completely new bridge. The money spent on the refurbishment of the Dulwich Village junction is irrelevant, surely? I don't know how council budgets are worked out, but surely these two budgets must be completely separate pots of money, and they can't take money from one pot and put it in the other pot ? (sorry, I don't mean to sound as if I'm explaining this to a three year old). Well, we don't know that without knowing all the details, do we? That's a very big assumption/accusation. Though I agree that on the face of it, it doesn't look good if the bridge has become unfit for purpose in such a short time. -
Whoever authorised the building and the spending of all that money is clearly not capable of doing their job.
