No, of course, nothing is "free". But we are a very tricky situation, squeezed between E.U. legislation and evaporating budgets. If the lasting legacy of this work are nasty "municipal" constructions and vents erected in easily obtained (i.e. public) but highly visible locations, designed and landscaped by engineers on a tight budget our riverside will be blighted. Kind of like NHS or Private dentistry, really. This isn't a case of getting a free Velodrome, or something. It is about preserving (and maybe improving) the face of Putney. |
