If You Don't Try, You Can't Fail.

Honesty, being the best policy, should really lend TDC to adopting this new slogan.
Yes, they may have gone part way to resolving the Pleasurama Unsightly Site issue by erecting Harris fencing along the promenade to block the view of it (though more likely to stop fly-tippers), but it really isn't the answer, is it?
As for expecting us to belive that the cliff is about to collapse, well, I'm sure that the litigation culture we live in would negate anyone from being allowed within half a mile of it. If it were true, then surely the cost of repairing it would pale in comparison to the potential defence budget they'd have to fork out were someone to fall and twist their ankle if it did collapse.
So maybe a bit of bullshit on their behalf? Wouldn't be the first time.
Personally, I've a feeling they're try to acclimatise people to losing the view in lieu of the building project that would have a similar effect.

If it were ever to happen!

Oh dear, I seem to have got out of the wrong side of bed this morning. I do wish the council would leave wider gaps between the slats on the back of their benches!
