Don't want the swing bridge

IT IS Scotland's transport secretary, no less, who is against the building of a swing bridge over the Caledonian Canal in Inverness.

He believed it will cause more congestion, as there are two already over the waterway.

A tunnel and aqueduct have also been proposed, with the idea of another swing bridge getting little support from both nearby residents and commuters, insisting that the openings cause traffic to build up on roads through Inverness.

Refurbished museum

A NARROWBOAT is the centrepiece of the newly refurbished industrial heritage gallery at Portland Basin Museum, at the junction of the Ashton and Huddersfield Narrow Canal.
This is part of a £100,000 refurbishment of the gallery, being just one of a number of new attractions, including an activity centre and a small cinema.
It was opened in time for Easter.
