Unbelievable!

I am constantly surprised by the inability of local bureaucrats to see what's under their noses.  I've posted before about diversions due to roadworks creating traffic chaos because no-one has thought through the consequences of the diversion and taken the appropriate steps to ease the situation.  Now here's another one.  We have a children's playground - swings and slides and such - and the local authority has decided to upgrade and extend it, and to this end it has to be temporarily fenced off.  So far, so good, but when did they decide to schedule this work?  You've guessed it - in the six weeks' holiday!!
