Bloody typical of the council. Great to see the old jobcentre and mitchells up and running though, but that's what happens when individuals get their heads together. (through necessity, granted) The council's too scared of their own shadow to do anything in a hurry. Focus groups, H & S assessments, planning permission, design tenders, construction tenders........... I bet the army's bloody desperate to have a crack at another bridge.
Any sign of the rivers being dredged? If they could do it for it's a bloody knockout, they can do it for the good of the town, but the fishing community's probably got too much influence.
And more importantly, is the brewery running again, or is it still being made down the country?
