Oh dear oh dear.
Amazing “the peoples” comments on a little old forum mean nothing (according to Featherstone Labour).
Strange how without “comments” nothing gets done.
Without making an immediate risk assessment and much later this week a commercial welder was employed to “weld up the cracks”.
If you know nothing about welding cast iron is a very difficult substance to weld especially when the cracks are 25mm wide. It’s impossible.
Please take a look at the brittle memorial. There are plenty more cracks than since first reported. That is the nature of cast metal under pressure. Take a look at the top. There is about a ton held up by a slither of metal.
Where are the safety barriers? Where are the Cllrs and the persistent complainer?
One good hit by a football and it will be down.
It would be a shame if the market traders were killed by falling metal while holding a meeting to save the market. Or would it for some one?
