Ghostrider Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Lets hope the new AHS doesn't have any problems - after all SIC involved, better be careful with signing that one off. I think we should be glad its being built where it is, right down in the bottom of a natural hole, where there's least chance of any bits blowing off. That tent, I'm not so confident about......a SE'er on that corner can pack quite a smack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wotsit Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 True - but give it some time the White tent probably won't be white for long. I can only imagine a disgusting colour, unless they intend cleaning it regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecwc1972 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 The new AHS should be fine,it's being built by a south company and not the local Cowboys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suds Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 The new AHS should be fine,it's being built by a south company and not the local Cowboys.Are you sure it has anything to do with the people who built it?? And not an issue with the design or structural calculations that were decided on? A company building things normally have to follow a spec which has to be signed off, and if the work is meeting the specs you can hardly blame the contractor, look at the balls up that was made of the Sumburgh runway extension, it could be seen it wouldn't work but people were following designs and specs laid out which had to be followed, or look at the moorfield hotel, built by south company's and the tiles blew off and it leaks!

Popular Post brecken Posted March 6, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) You can't make this crap up..... http://www.shetlandtimes.co.uk/2016/09/20/breaking-council-staff-told-to-vacate-north-ness-headquarters-in-lerwick UHA Committee are gonna have to invest in a bigger Bill, or they're never gonna get it all on this year. Looks likely we are going to have to pay to fix the Councils fock up with their sharn-Hoose and again nobody is accountable, no completion certificate what next? Common procedure my ass maybe for incompetent idiots!Time somebody gave that corporate management team a kick up the ass and started to make them accountable, if it wasn’t for the cost of their catalogue of fock-ups we’d comfortably be able to provide a high level of public services with the moneys allocated by the Scottish Government.Maybe we should have kept Dave Clark.

tooney1 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 So do we know who's fault it was yet - building contractor or structural engineer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brecken Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 it's the lack of honesty that troubles me. what else are they covering up.Not really a strong point honesty and clarity with the SIC more likely to get a load of waffle and a pack of lies.And I dread to think what they've covered up over the years, they won't even answer there freedom of information requests so hard to find out anything!

Unless of course it’s a pile of Sharn, typical SICSIC still paying the lease and liable for the repairs, I dread to think what this balls-up will end up costing us!https://soundcloud.com/bbcradioshetland/good-evening-shetland-thursday-23rd-of-march-2017 Edited March 24, 2017 by brecken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ghostrider Posted October 27, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) .....and in true SIC fashion, lets pay a cool £ 1/2 Million plus for absolutely sweet F.A! http://www.shetlandtimes.co.uk/2017/10/27/500000-rent-paid-empty-council-headquarters Then, there's the cost of the "repairs" themselves to add on..... Hiring a couple of big dozers and shoving the lot over the edge to extend the North Ness a few yards would have been much better and cheaper all round. I wonder if they were hoping this news would get a big buried under the "good news" of the "two sheds" AHS being open for its first day of business....No chance! More like it makes folk wonder how long the "two sheds" will last before they're in the same boat.

Urabug Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 With an extortionate electricity and water bill for an empty building,I think it must have been converted into a greenhouse and they are growing weed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suuusssiiieee Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) I'm maybe thick but what obligation does the SIC have to keep paying the rent? Surely as landlords SLAP are breaching the tenancy agreement by not providing a suitable building in a good state of repair. I hope the legal eagles no doubt on a hefty wedge themselves have a way of getting that money returned in the future. To think of care homes & schools having their budgets slashed, to chuck £536,000 away is nothing short of sickening. As to the new AHS it was certainly thrown up in a rush so lets hope it doesn't start falling apart bit by bit in the years to come.
