    Construction now scheduled to start Spring 2021. So that's next season at the least chalked off.

    Nudger's Bridge will be the Tarn equivalent of La Sagrada Familia: we'll still be walking all the way round in 2050.

    The original timescale under which the bridge should have opened last year had it taking just over 7 months from start of construction on its lift to it being ready for handover. 1 month for installation of the lift and 6 months for the bridge itself

    They built half the M1 in 3 years, but a poxy bridge for pedestrians takes the same amount of time.

    Sprotborough Viaduct.
    Structures like this built throughout Britain using only picks and shovels.

    The sooner we get a different political party in charge at the town hall - the better it will be for all the residents of Barnsley.
