The contractors blamed the Council but evidently you cant get one of those machines down by the bus stops along the market pavillions so it was poor workmanship. The Council coughed up [I think] £10,000?? for its share of the repairs which delayed final signing of contracts.

Why did HBC cough up £10,000 if it was down to poor workmanship. Was the market square development a "contractor design" Did the HBC building control officers oversee the works on behalf of HBC
