The really big question that needs to asked here is why pay once for something that is very good and after that pay again foe something that is quite awful? Why would you do that?
Whoever designed the first manifestation delivered what is arguably a trend setter in good civic design for now. They should be nominated for an award. Good work!
Then comes along "a manager" who has has had a complaint from some grumpy person who probably hates children who says "I will fix it". He, and apparently it is a he, puts on a designer's hat, thinks tennis or something and decides all by his little self that he will do the fence again. Actually he gets some team or other to do the work and hang the expense apparently.
As for design, why bother. You see he is probably one of those people who think that they would have done a better job always.n Thank goodness Boeing keeps them away from their design team.
Now the hapless ratepayers get to pay over and over for a job that was done well and then to pay again for it to be done badly.
Apparently the General Manager signed of on all this. How can that be? Why would he do that? Isn't this the silliest bit administrative nonsense you have ever heard?
The second time around fence is apparently costing something like $4 thousand to $5 thousand but why? A flea bite really! This whole affair is too, too silly for words and why do ratepayers have to put up with it? More to the point, how can it happen in a well run operation?
The fact that it is, and that the evidence is plain, means that ratepayers are paying way too much for mediocre services all round.
As Arthur Conan Doyle said “mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself; but talent instantly recognizes genius.” Launceston deserves better.
