Typical reaction by an INCOMPETENT Council

The traffic 'worthiness' of any public facility is an attribute that Council is legally obligated to periodically assess for safety.

In this instance, Council officers would have known that the 'worthiness' of the structures were coming to the end of their life, unless maintenance were undertaken.

Council officers would likely have submitted a repair program for budget consideration.

To 'lose' another facility because Council fails to allocate the appropriate funds demonstrates yet again the misallocation of Ratepayer funds.

Next time you see a Council motor vehicle, check out the age and condition. Soon, you'll note that most are quite new. And, if one cares to investigate, the collective average age of Council vehicles is less than 2 years.

Compare that to the collective average of vehicles held by Tweed residents. The difference is huge.

Clearly, Council is willing to spend Ratepayer funds on serving the interests of Councillors and Council staff, but not on assets enjoyed by the public.
