its obviously a typing error, but what about those who swim in any sea or those who swim in the Scottish lochs - deeper than 6 feet. obviously the council doesnt rate people with common sense. What's the difference in walking around the lake with a small child who has a fishing net - more chance of drowning - have the council banned this as well. Today's council generation - I dont think the councillors possess any common sense.
I can give you a perfect example - the area where I live have had steps down to the beach - from the clifftops - and had at the bottom of the steps a large concrete/brick standing area which housed a lifeguard station and a cafe - also - underneath it had public toilets and a place that used to house deckchairs. Fair enough yobbos destroyed the lifebuard station etc which made it any eyesore. However, the north sea, in its fury in my lifetime has destroyed the steps that lead from this platform down to the sand and also destroyed the toilet area. Bearing in mind these are concrete and brick structures - and the force of the sea has destroyed that 2 times in my lifetime. So, the councillors are now planning to replace it all with a wooden structure and wooden steps down to the beach - I didnt think wood was stronger than concrete - the sea will have a field day with the 'new' structure.
They must all be trained at the same college these councillors - the college of No brains and thickfulness. They must all have degrees in it.
