Now compare the above with the same shot taken sometime back below. There once was a single post http://static.flickr.com/36/122839962_595c089647_b.jpg and the fence beside it consisted of spars nailed to posts as can be seen from the old picture and not as below http://static.flickr.com/48/137066038_1d6f343b06_b.jpg and this is only one stretch of fencing that in itself stretches quite a way as can be seen by enlarging the pic below http://static.flickr.com/56/137066039_a44ab7d722_b.jpg (All the pics on my gallery can be enlarged from either the symbol or the side panel on the right.) This is costing thousands of pounds of community charge payers cash and it is being done to set a budget for next year. The more that is spent this year the more that can be asked for next year and so on.Of course the more money a council spends with a contractor the more the contractor can be expected to pay in kick backs normally but that sort of corruption doesn't happen in Ipswich where we are stuck in our ways of being honest and even with council housing repairs they always use OBO scaffolding who have been around for years and are a local firm whose bosses would be known personally to those who employ them. I suppose we should be glad we don't live in one of those corrupt towns one reads of from time to time. Just be glad this town is not corrupt and the millions of pounds being spent on Orwell Country Park and Braziers Wood is honestly spent money and nobody is getting massive back handers out of community tax money.
