    Try asking the council.

    My thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.

    Didn't notice anything behind, to be honest I wasn't playing that much attention as I just expected the boat to go through the bridge to drop and the traffic to move finally.

    There were 2 vessels on Friday afternoon, the fastnet tug and a smaller boat.

    I was only a few cars back, what shocked me was the guy running across the bridge, who got to the barriers and climbed over them, just before the bridge lifted :eek:

    I remember it being discussed locally before that the river has priority over the roads as the river was there first.

    And horses and bikes were there before cars ……
    But motor vehicles OWN the road , right ?
