Default Its that Alley Gating thing again

I got onto the council yesterday to complain about the flaw in their alley
gate system,apparently you can get a screwdriver inbetween the frame and the
loc and get passed the locking mechanism.

The lock area has a v shaped elongated cutout and needs a plate weld over
this area.
This morning I went down to have a look at what they were proposing to
do,they said they have done it ie pop riveted a small plate over the area
with only two rivets. doh! where do the council train their monkeys?

If I hadn't of been there they would have left it like that,I got him to
weld it and you know what? he did with a couple of spot welds in the wrong
area for strenghtening.

doh! where do the council train their monkeys?
