Ding dong

I will hopefully have more to post about this at the weekend, but for now:

Sunderland City Council scraps plan to build £118million bridge across the Wear

Bridge collapse! The rise and fall of Sunderland’s ill-fated Iconic River Wear crossing

Scared off? Sunderland’s landmark bridge architect Stephen Spence reveals his biggest regret over project axe

Sunderland scraps costly Wear bridge plans

£118m Iconic Sunderland bridge was a “ridiculous waste of money” blasts councillor

The official council report can be found online, although it offers few answers to the key questions such as: just how much over budget were the two tenders submitted? How much money has been spent on the abortive design?

Wow, is all I can say for now. Although the outcome was predictable and assumed (by many), now that it is announced, it is still quite stunning. It will be interesting to see the fallout, once the recriminations begin.
