More delays hamper Bridgnorth Cliff Railway repairs as closure nears 10 months
Further delays are hampering repairs to the Bridgnorth Cliff Railway after contractors were forced to leave the site this week.
The funicular railway that connects High Town to Low Town has been out of action since December last year after it was close d n health and safety grounds.
The closure, which saw most of the Cliff Railway's staff made redundant, was caused by a damaged retaining wall.
While much of the wall was repaired in May this year, a second section of wall beyond the railway needed to be fixed before the attraction could reopen.
Repairs to this second section of wall were also hit with delays when a row over the correct paperwork broke out between the owner of he railway and Bridgnorth Town Council.
While the disagreement over the documents has now been settled, and contractors have been working on the second section of wall since last month, workmen were forced to leave the site earlier this week.
It is understood that the contractors do not have permission to fix a small section of the wall and are awaiting sign off from council officials and have now left the site.
Nobody was available at Bridgnorth Town council for comment.
