Northgate Staircase

Featured Posts

Northgate staircase locks have been closed for a little while now. I suspect the cill has had one too many temporary repairs done and now fully failed.

I got a stoppage notice today saying that a Conservation Officer is attending the site tomorrow and that updates would be issued in due course, however the locks would remain closed until further notice. 

This has got the hallmarks of being a big/long job. Is there anyone in the area with more accurate information, idle gossip or any inkling as to when they might reopen? 

Anyone stuck?
