Surprise surprise, I don’t think, about the latest school building fiasco.

The building of the new school at Tadpole Lane won’t be finished in time so now the kids have got to go to one in Redhouse, but that one isn’t finished either (Adver, Thur, Mar 20). Once again our councillors have failed to ensure a development is on schedule. What is wrong with Swindon Council? Whether it’s a wi-fi system, a school or the Mechanics’ Institute they never ever get anything right and nothing ever changes.

Every election it’s the same load of no-hopers. If they were put in charge of the North Pole there’d be a shortage of snow and if they were put in charge of a desert there’d be a shortage of sand, but they’d just cover up for each other and claim more money.

This has been going on for at least as long as I have been here and I came in 1976. My wife is a Swindonian born and bred, and she says the last person with any power in Swindon who knew what to do with it was David Murray John.
