Something should be done!

68 lost souls

Hi,

With all the local councils finally putting in new parks around the place I think we should all get them to do it properly and maybe try and get them to replace Rhino as the main builders to get them to use Airspeed. The bushypark park looks like it is going to be far beyond all expectation and comparing it with the flatpack constructions of Rhino it is easy to see the Airspeed would be the obvious company to construct the other parks and not Rhino.

Anyone with me? Anybody got any ideas to help sort this out?

Cheers.

I'm sure everyone agrees with you on the point you have made,but if rhino win the tenders then it's going to be built by rhino,unless you get the people that award the tenders to put rhino ramps out of the running!!!

as buzz aldrin said shortly before the launch of apollo 11 "i realised i was sitting in an experimental vehicle that was built by the lowest bidder" the main job of the decision makers is cost over quaility "saving tax payers as much as possible"
it sucks verily

Stonedfluff, I would agree to an extent but I fell that we should show the councils that it is quality rather then quantity that counts, if they go on building these Rhino parks then it wont be long before they are all shut down because the parks are falling apart or people outgrow them and dont use them, if they build quality concrete ramps and good ones then they will last longer and more peeople will use them aswel.

You could go to the e-tenders website and find out who is responsible for putting up the tender for the park. then mail them with your views.
Heres a link to the galway one, if you click on full notice tab i think you'll find the person responsible in the council!!

imstead of buildin a load of small parks, with ****ty layout, they should just put all the money together and build some thin like a plaza, well not all the money. but somethin like the dc plaza

I know concrete parks are better but if Rhino keeps getting all the tenders then you'd think they would try learn something about layout!
