Now thats the problem, money management.. no accountability once the money is handed out, allowing inefficiencies to persist...
The other week a road here was closed temporarily as part of a prefabricated building was being delivered to a site...
The site entrance was a recently bulldozer constructed style inclined gravel road which the all terrain crane used to get into position ready to unload the building.
The building was delivered on a road going flat bed, low to the ground, totally unsuitable for the site entrance..
Where was project management , I bet it was all organised working from home, and the mess up was the first visit to site
Anyway I heard that attempt at delivering the 1st prefab section cost £120,000.. I believe a total of 7 sections will be delivered, would it have been cheaper to build on site,..
It's a local council project, new pre/after school care building, gov funded.. . All fine but there is a £22bn black hole, and outside of teaching hours the schools directly opposite and adjacent have plenty of free space as they are empty.... so why not utilise the existing buildings.. ?
My mate, works in education, got a new laptop to work at home during covid, and got a new one returning to work, again both gov funded
Main Gov wants to close a £22bn hole, commit £22bn to carbon capture, honour a pledge of £11.6bn in overseas aid for the climate crisis , allow councils vanity projects,.. and help fund Ukraines war and all the donated gear needs replacing..... something has to give....
