Windmill Bridge

When I came back from holiday I asked the officers for the reason for the delay to the re-opening of the bridge. Nuttalls reason is that the delays because of the unidentified cables before Christmas, followed by the bad weather over the winter were the reason. Personally I am more than a bit sceptical - we were told that the problems with the cables would not delay the project, so why now are they the reason. And as for bad weather - what else can we expect in winter? Anyway, we are where we are, but it is very frustrating. I am assured, despite rumours to the contrary, that the bridge will re-open at the end of July, but I am not going to put any money on it just yet.

The information from CCC earlier this year stated all work was on schedule and bridge would reopen on time. Amazing how the story changes!! Not really sure what bad weather they are talking about - must have been asleep for the millimetre of snow we had.

Best news was that Nuttals have to pay no compensation for late completion of bridge, only if the whole project is late does a penalty clause come into play! Fantastic planning. I blame the people who read and signed the legal documents and the client.

Nobody taking responsibility again. It must have been the fairies who planned and argued for the Guided Bus.
