Another bloody expert review? The council couldn't find its way out of a wet paper bag. This library's been a shambles from day one.

Reagan Shaw2026-06-25T00:33:42.000Z

you actually been inside? It's world class. Council did something right for once.

Chloe Martin2026-06-25T00:07:42.000Z

oh great, more money blown on consultants while the roads are still full of potholes

Ruby Fraser2026-06-25T00:58:42.000Z

rich coming from someone on the gravy train. We get it, you liked the free biscuits.

As someone who works in construction, I can tell ya this is standard council panic. Could've just hired a decent project manager in the first place.

Reagan Shaw2026-06-25T00:35:42.000Z

I actually visited the new library last week. It's stunning inside. Worth every cent if you ask me. People just love to complain.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-25T00:46:42.000Z

Lol classic WCC. Spend years building it, then appoint an 'expert' to find out why it cost so much. Mate, we already know 😂

Stuff2026-06-25T00:54:42.000Z

we funded it! Could've had two new bus lanes for the price of that fancy glass wall.

Stuff2026-06-25T00:54:42.000Z

ffs this town. Library's nice yeah but how's it help when the buses don't run? Priorities people.

Chloe Martin2026-06-25T01:51:42.000Z

lol cope. Experts gonna expert, nothing changes.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-25T01:01:42.000Z

Wonder if the expert is someone's mate from the golf club. Usual council stitch-up.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-25T01:10:42.000Z

Facts. The experts'll say it was too expensive, council'll ignore it, rates go up again.

Sam North2026-06-25T01:12:42.000Z

I reckon they should just sell the books and turn it into a bar. Would make more money.

Chloe Martin2026-06-25T01:22:42.000Z

Yeah nah get stuffed. Libraries are one of the few good things left in this city.

Sam North2026-06-25T01:49:42.000Z

that to my rates bill mate. Library's nice but I'd rather a pothole-free commute.
