Well, by all accounts, the much-trailed traffic lights will be in full operation at this Thursday's Council Meeting :-(Two quick comments come to mind:
1. all seems a bit pointless, as the agenda is pretty short anyhow - as I mentioned earlier - and why the whole 'project' can't now be shelved I'm not entirely sure?
2 . much more seriously, it is all costing yet more money (some £1,600 apparently) at a time when funding is being reduced right across a whole range of City Council services.
Mind you, such a sum seems paltry when compared to:
- the £112,352 about to be spent on 'refurbishing' old desks - see paragraph 5.3 here!
- or the +£1million that could well be spent on 'ceremonial flags' for the city :-(
There may well be a time for such expenditure, but this year isn't it :-((
