Re: Well, when I say fine....

My flabber has never been so ghasted!

So conditions have been found to be so unsafe, that a proper repair and withdrawal as promised has proved to be impossible to deliver?

Maybe, just maybe (BBC skimping and failures aside, which obviously played their part), the best part of 7 years EH spent sat sitting on hands wondering what to do while the voids got bigger and bigger as they migrated may have been a factor in the current dangerous state of the tunnels?

And now they're using grout - a solution which was poo-pooed at the public meeting in Devizes as impractical. Ha! Those bags look to be the plasticised cotton/nylon ones used in the construction industry. Hardly biodegradable, I suspect!

I weep for the Hill.
