Rog Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) So has anyone kept a tally on the cost of the 'prom fiasco to date? And apart from that idiot Gawne (how he ever got away with what he has defeats me) who are the principle incompetent fools to blame for it? From the strangely absent voids that were claimed to be an urgent problem that justified this monumental clusterfuck to the horrendous waste of money that the stupid horsetrams have caused and everything in-between. It's not only Denmark that has something rotten about it. Edited May 21, 2020 by Rog 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not only Denmark that has something rotten about it. The only voids on the Prom scheme belong in DOI management heads . We all knew it would be a disaster and enough warned but honestly , did anyone really think it would be this bad. I've been super critical but its even astounded me . Let them at the Deep water berth at your peril . Meanwhile the state of the general roads deteriorate daily , no sign of Richmond Hill being sorted and I've given up with the Radar ... Its only money , tax payers money !! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Buggane Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 My take on the new prom seawall is that it was already purchased when it first raised its ugly head many moons ago. They just gave the impression that public demand to scrap it was showing that democracy was alive and kicking in the island. Now it is ready for delivery baron boot gives it the nod through to safe guard life and limb and cure all the proms problems. Is it like a lego brick so when the stones reach the top they can just add another 1.2 metres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classy would have been a small advertisement in the local papers thanking Douglas residents for their patience over the long years of disruption. No such acknowledgement was forthcoming.

Numbnuts Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I worked for Watlings when they had the contract for the first initial stage years ago at the Power station. Based in Glasgow and a subsidery of MacAlpines in those days anyway. Mainly did Piling and thats what I did with them here . Around mid 80's from memory. I'm sure its the same operation as the colour of Equipment ,waterproofs and gear was the same bright green . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
