So, as time ticks by, the project is slowly grinding to a halt with everyone seemingly wanting a piece of the action.
Now it is the turn of the council. Apparently I have to get permission to place a manhole in their land, and the cost of this? about £22,000 !!!!!!!!!!
It's just unbelievable, total daylight robbery. I just don;t what else to say. It's looking like this project is going back to the drawing board.
It's very difficult to establish whether this is all above board or not, and I very much get the opinion that the people who work on the council resent developers. one of the people I spoke to actually had the nerve to say "why should you drive around in a Jaguar, if I'm driving round in an escort". I was dumb founded.
So the running total is, £37,000 pounds to build over a pipe. I'm just glad this project hasn't got out of the ground yet.
