Bollards

[Speedwheel]

Just looked out the window and May Gurney are installing these new bollards (Staffs and Worcester). Obviously they are still putting them in.

 

Also non of the contractors are wearing life jackets. !!! tut tut

That's terrible!

 

What if they tripped over a bollard and fell in

[casper ghost]

Well, it's easy to spend other peoples money. They don't know what to waste it on next.

[bargeeboy]

Bet they are not putting them in the right place !!

...errrr new bollards - have I missed something here. Are we talking a new design, yet another safety improvement or anything else??

Well I did ask them to put them on my firewood pile but they refused.

I'm not going to say the obvious - oooh go on then. Sounds like a load of bollards to me

Are these bollards wood or metal? Frazeley - who run the S&W are the wooden wonder boys.

I witnessed new bollards being installed on the T & M yesterday.

 

 

3 men, all brand new hi vis tops and bottoms, 3 shovels, 2 wheel barrows, 2 trucks, head foot and ear protectors

.

 

One man reckoned each bollard cost over £1000.

 

£3000 per lock wasted as no body will use them but maybe fall over them

Is there anything we can do to stop this gross waste of our money?

 

Fitted on wrong side as well.

It has been said that the Southern Oxford have had additional bollards installed during the last year.

 

I have to say they "do" get used. I saw a user of a hire boat go into a lock to desend and promptly, with help from crew tied the bow,stern "AND" centre rope to the three bollards. I would have taken a photo but forgot as I just couldn't belive what I was seeing. I looked to see if it was a windup but saw no evidence.
