A forlorn hope I believe Suffolkboy, where politics and politicians are involved common sense doesn't enter the equation. I think Peter Coldby made a mistake in having Bob Blizzard as his sidekick, Mr Blizzard in my opinion is solely involved to further his own ambitions.
I believe all Politicians are out to feather their own nests and no doubt Peter is looking to make a bob or two himself (not the Blizzard Bob
) from his idea. We have a coming election and the giveaways are falling like confetti,all are looking to get elected to enjoy being employed for the next session. You may be correct with your assumption that Bob Blizzard is out to get re elected like every other politician.
What matters,will the correct decision be eventually made about a new bridge - after all it has been trundling along for as long as I can remember - years and years. We have the same situation here at Norwich with the NDR (Northern Distribution Road). I sometimes sit and scratch my head and wonder how this country doesn't fall apart.
