As I have posted before…irrespective of ‘Social Media’ comments, this is the most advanced of any scheme in the past 50 years, that is not to say ‘something’ may well go wrong….Lets put it in context – This bridge is not the ‘Golden Gate’ or ‘Forth Road Bridge’
It is something ‘we’ have all wanted for many generations….
Lets hope the ‘Ralph Butcher Bridge’ will be built and I hope Ralph gets the honour of being able to officially open the Bridge!!!!!
