It would appear that it was the indefatigable Councillor Nicola Taylor (Labour, Erith) who was behind
the last blog about the ill-fated Cob statue on
Bronze Age Way because she has given an update on the situation. Maybe she has
been nagging the relevant top brass who have foraged around and nailed it for her.
The information is that the insurance company has accepted that their policy
holder cannot steer, but after bridling at
the size of the bill, has pretty much agreed to pony up. The foundations will
have to await weather more amenable to replacing concrete footings so presumably
the best we can expect is that the reins will be taken up at a slow trot. However the eventual outcome
is now a bit of a shoe in and residents will not be required to be the Council’ְs tax fodder.
