Roads and infrastructure which are essential items definitely come before fancy items like museums. For those who chug along at about 10km an hour for miles coming in and out of the city, this is not just an extra cost to them, but it is emitting a huge amount of dangerous emissions that we do not want in our atmosphere. Ask anyone cycling through the traffic about this nuisance.

Why have our local ‘greenies' been silent on this issue? Those councillors who continue to push for a museum will be dumped at the next elections.

We did it once before and we can do it again.
