I have received email confirmation from Skanska (after a reminder email sent to them) that they propose to correct the problems created by installing posts that narrow the free footpath width.

It does not yet inspire a huge degree of confidence in that they have declined to specify a time frame for the rectification works to be carried out.

Confidence would grow if Skanska made a commitment that demonstrated they had benefitted from the lesson learned and that for the future Skanska will apply common sense on the part of their design team when similar circumstances arise

This application of expertise and competence is not too much to ask for in a project which has a total value of circa £128m and that requires £74m of capital investment on their part..
