MY thanks to Roger Ball for clarifying the tendering process for the Waterfront demolition (Have Your Say, March 19). It does however raise a couple of issues.
Firstly, he will be aware that one local company, Three Cross Demolition, was invited to tender, not by the council, but by Interserve Construction Ltd, who clearly have a higher opinion of their capabilities than he does.
Secondly, we have to examine the role of the technical services department.
If their only function is to ‘appoint’ an outside agency to ensure that the project is managed satisfactorily then perhaps they are no longer needed.
