and wasted a lot of money,
a spokesman said, 'the paving stone selected for the Churchgate site was fully compliant to UK standards, however, given the logistics of the site, we have been made aware of a build-up of algae', pity the poor people of Bolton who pay with broken bones, but then in 2010, the council paid out more than £400,000 in injury compensation, the payouts were made up of a string of claims made by members of the public amounting to £360,000, as well as £50,000 compensation awarded to council staff, the council made 71 payouts to Bolton residents, ranging from £850 to £27,000, for slips, trips and falls on council footpaths and pavements, there were a further 15 payments made to council employees, including teachers and school staff, ranging from £1,000 to £13,750,
crikey that was just in 2010, I wonder who much will be paid out in 2011? I guess it would have been cheaper by now to have pulled them up and started again, still a nice little earner for an actor and ambulance chasing lawyer!
