Repair work halted on Bridgnorth Cliff Railway as contractors await next steps
Repair work has temporarily halted on a damaged wall around the Bridgnorth Cliff Railway as contractors await further instructions from the town council.
Dr Malvern Tipping, chairman of the Cliff Railway, has today confirmed that workmen have left the site in Bridgnorth to work elsewhere while they await further instructions from the council.
Work has now been completed on the section of the wall nearest to the railway, Mr Tipping said, but the delay to future work could keep the attraction closed for several more months.
Mr Tipping warned that if this were to be the case, the costs – during the railway's peak season – could be "astronomical".
“Since December last year, we have been kept much in the dark in a process shrouded in secrecy," Mr Tipping said.
