Sadly its our own fault as we vote these and the NSC muppets in.

£200k becomes £1.36 million

Okay!

Inflation apparently

Ms Young added that extra costs were because of requests from local people and residents, where work that was originally planned for last summer was instead carried out during autumn 2022 and early this year to minimise disruption to holiday trade. "Unfortunately, delaying the work at a time when the rate of inflation was accelerating between autumn last year and spring this year added an estimated £253,000 increase in scheme costs," Ms Young continued.

So original budget £201k has an additional £253 added because of inflation. Remind me when inflation hit 125% over a 4 month period.

What absolute bks!


Private contractors can only gouge the public sector if the incompetent fools allow them.

Sadly I can’t go to the (ticketed!) event of the findings, but I shall be very interested to see what the result is.

You couldn't make it up

Brilliant news, Christmas has come early.

The cost for this aberration was £1.3 million and the estimate to revert it back to something similar to what it was is £375000.

So who pays for this complete waste of money? Not the pig headed councillors who pushed it through you can bet on that.

'The council will consult the local community, before taking a final decision on whether and when the work may be done'

You think it's going back to how it was?

Too much money/egg on face for that methinks.
