I think you're being too quick to judge. The stoppage is listed as "3rd party works", and (from what I saw last time I was over there) it's as part of the dualling of the A465 Heads of the Valleys road.

So it's Highways Agency work, not British Waterways. Consequently, if the contract over-runs, it's the Highways Agency's responsibility to get the boats past the blockage. I bet you'll find that they're paying for the craneage... not BW.

Yep probably then Richard I am.. so if you are correct that the Highways Agency are paying for the cranage then that's fine by me.. Maybe BW could have made that clear in their stoppage information though.

Yes, I guess it's easy to get sucked into the lingo without realising that "3rd party works" is probably less than clear!

Anyway, the craneage should look good... maybe we should send a photographer along.
