WTF Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 4 minutes ago, Kopek said: Could not the old Newlands entrance on Braddan Rd be used for a short access? Or are there new buildings in the way? Snake it around the inside of the hedge? Would seem better than snaking it around Oates Rd entrance. Not insurmountable with a little common sense surely? the common sense part is the achilles heel of most things over here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeCurious Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 The problem with common sense is it's quite uncommon. That is why lawyers exist. Much like civil servants can sometimes feel like an oxymoron when they are neither. So £10 milion so far and rising... still not a patch on the DoI. Nice try though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 The Braddan Commissioners have announced that hedge cutting will be cut back to help pay for the Roundhouse. There are no words…they must be spending a fortune on hedge cutting I cannot believe it are these people for real ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 As I've said before, it's not for us to come up with solutions for Govt/La problems but if you are going to critisise then surely you must have some 'suggestion' as to what they should do/???

Hedgecutting will not be a huge part of the annual budget, meaning that if they are cutting back on that, what else will they be cutting back on? Presumably if overgrown hedges impact on road and pedestrian safety then it's now a price worth paying for the Taj? Maybe they could look at giving the Braddan Clerk a salary haircut? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of course, all those standing watching have mortgages to pay so can't be considered for the chop, can they, Stu? Dave only lives in a council house so is expendable.
