Build a council swimming pool, don't maintain it correctly for 30+ years, conclude it's beyond repairs and tear it down (But in fairness those 60s buildings were crap).
At least where I am they are building a replacement. But they have "awarded" management to a private company for some reason.
- b800h 3y agoIt's a lot simpler to do a single tender and outsource the whole problem of management to a large company than to recruit 20-30 people, project managers etc etc. Council staff are overstretched as it is. This just comes down to expediency and, to some extent, laziness.
