Here in Salisbury, the wheels have come off the present Administration’s bandwagon with Bourne Hill now costing over £20M for a smaller building not able to house all the Council staff. This is a long cry from their manifesto pledge:
"We will cancel the plan if the Liberal Democrats win."
The new Wiltshire Council, which is replacing the County and four District councils, needs more space for the Council staff.
The irony is that the original Bourne Hill plan would have housed all the staff at just £15.4M.
So, up to £5M down the drain by the LibDem/Labour unholy alliance in only one year, what a record!! One LibDem Councillor has been so disillusioned that he has left the Administration and crossed the floor and is now an Independent councillor.
