Bollocks! Due to hold ups from the lunatic luvvie luddites of Deal and elsewhere, in order not to hold up the project, DHB have been
forced to source this aggregate at an
extra cost of £5 million.
Needless to say this is £5 million that they won't have to spend on the 'built environment' at the end of the project, so if we all end up without the seats, trees, squares, cycleways etc which most people are looking forward to, we know who to blame don't we Christine?
I hate to think what the effect will be if the idiots (and I use the word advisedly) of Goodwin Sands SOS forces DHB to source all the aggregate from elsewhere at an
extra cost of £20 million, about 10% of project cost. Tossers.
