The question this week is...

Will Scotland get a new Forth bridge, and does it need one?

I am far from convinced there is a need. The approaches from both sides are 70 mph roads so to have a slower 2m stretch in between is always going to be frustrating. The public do not have enough information to make a decision which suggests the experts are not agreed either. The exhibitions last February do not seem to have made things any easier.

It seems utterly crass that in the land of Thomas Telford – yes he of the Menai Suspension Bridge – we’re completely daunted by the prospect of another vital bridge across the Forth. But this is also the home of Holyrood Parliament fiasco and the Edinburgh trams debacle. With budget cuts of the swingeing scale just announced by John Swinney, we’ll all rest easier if this bridge is mothballed indefinitely.
