My Licence fee is not for craning!

Update

A comment on the last blog informs me that it is the Highways Agency who are funding the cranage for the Welsh boats…

I think you're being too quick to judge. The stoppage is listed as "3rd party works", and (from what I saw last time I was over there) it's as part of the dualling of the A465 Heads of the Valleys road.

So it's Highways Agency work, not British Waterways. Consequently, if the contract over-runs, it's the Highways Agency's responsibility to get the boats past the blockage. I bet you'll find that they're paying for the craneage... not BW.
