WOW theres a surprise ! When did any council project ever get completed on time or on budget ? Dont the people who allocate the contracts put some kind of penalty in the contact for late completion ? and shouldnt the work be a fixed price ? Seems to me they just go in with a low quotation and promises of fast completion to secure the work and then find excuses for the delays and over spend knowing that once the company has started it very difficult to kick them off and find a new contractor to finish.
I was very sad to lose the Cafe Colmar, it had been there since 1967
If you calculate the extended period of work as a percentage, it is ridiculous. I wonder what the cost will be over budget. Im not quite sure it has made a considerable difference, to be honest.
