Dizzy Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Have you see it ? Bloody eyesore !! Kingsway Bridge now has a large new 'wall' just as you approach the island........ made of TYRES !! All bound together to form a high wall and wait for it, two big banners saying 'Advertise Here'. I'm guessing it's not a new flood defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Well that went down well. Either none of you have a clue what I'm talking about or you like it, or you're just not interested........... the latter I suspect ? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Do you have a photo we can all moan at?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I took one but can't log into my photobucket to upload it to here......you have a car and a camera though don't you ? Someone has posted a couple of crackers on the Warrington Memories FB page though if you've not seen them yet (not the 'warr born' one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila_P Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I can't spot the pics, Dizz. I've been back a few days and have maybe managed to miss them. Do you have a link, please? If not, I'll have to wait until I'm passing in a few days' time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grappenhall Guy Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Yes Dizzy noticed them building this eyesore last week as you say made of flattened tyres,an inventive way of dumping tyres. I had a quick look through planning apps.may have missed one but no trace of one. Apart from the esthetic view of this monstrosity there is a possible fire risk here,also are the builders going to remove them when finished or are Warrington rate payers going to pick up the bill for disposal.

Grappenhall Guy Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Oops sorry about that 3 posts not in a habit of repeating myself normally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I though you were being impatient cos I hadn't answered you quick enough I just deleted 2 for you Can you imagine if they all went up in flames the fumes and smoke would be awful. Is there building work going on there too then as I didn't notice any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Shiela..... here's a pic. Not very clear but gives you an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grappenhall Guy Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Thanks Dizzy for deleting the extra posts,just been past didn't see any building work going on. Going back to the fire risk,if we get a hot summer and the grass around this monstrosity catches fire,doesn't bear thinking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Isn't there some kind of fire risk assessment center located right near Kingsway Bridge??? Wouldn't that be embarrassing if it all went up in flames. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Good point Bill !! I can't imagine that the council will have allowed this 'advertising' wall to be built or that they will allow it to stay. They don't approve of fly posting or illegal advertising (is it illegal if it's on private land?) not to mention the dangers of having something like that distracting motorists on a busy road so close to to an island where someone has already sadly lost their life. Maybe the council enforcement bods are looking into it as I'm sure they will be aware of it by now as it's not like it's just popped up over night.

Sheila_P Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Thanks, Dizzy. You are right it's an eye-sore! Wonder who's responsible for building it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 thought it was something to do with flood defense. Just think of it as art, might win some reward like the turner prize 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RingoDave Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I have to admit to having driven through there on Tuesday lunchtime and didn't notice this at all (Yes, I have been to Specsavers!). Think I may have to have another drive out that way just to be nosey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Has it got any bigger ? I looked on the website of the company who are advertising 'advertising space' on the wall on the big banner attached to it...... £££'s kerching ! Would I pay to advertise on that eyesore. NO as it looks so tacky and unprofessional!! Maybe the tyres are just the stabilising base and it will be covered in wood or something.

burgerman Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Isn't there some kind of fire risk assessment center located right near Kingsway Bridge???

Dizzy Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Maybe you could get rid by setting fire to them in a controlled way burgerman? ... just call it a test exercise So what do you know about them or who's behind it all then if you work that close. Come on spread the gossip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Better watch out what you say here then else you may end up getting fired! Bet you've never heard that one before Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgerman Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 i quite like that Bill it is the first time i have heard that, i saw them put them up they seemed to go up very quickly, all i know is that one of the guys putting them up had a very nice car, if they did catch fire it would become dangerous very quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Wonder if they are all his old expensive tyres and he's trying to get every last bit of his moneys worth out of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
