THE recent mistaken decision to carry on with the Boscombe Surf Reef regardless of the rising costs shows how out of touch with the wishes of the ordinary residents of the town Bournemouth council has become.
This rising costs will be borne by the town’s council tax payers either in higher taxes or in reduced services as the council grapples with an extremely tight budget.
This fiasco one again shows how incompetent Bournemouth council is when dealing with large scale capital projects, and once again the poor taxpayer has to pick up the bill!
