'They said the railway would be open by Easter, but I can't even see the work having started by then' - Dr Malvern Tipping.
The chairman of Bridgnorth Cliff Railway has called in solicitors over fears that jobs could be lost and work to repair a "dangerous" wall which has closed the railway might not start until Easter.Bridgnorth's funicular railway was forced to close last month as a result of a deteriorating wall on a neighbouring council property which posed a serious safety risk to the railway.
Dr Malvern Tipping said:"I've heard absolutely nothing from the town council since this whole thing started. Dr Tipping added:"We've had loss insurers in so we can recoup our losses in some other way and insure that the town council pays us an adequate amount of compensation. He said:"If they'd properly maintained this wall over the years, this wouldn't have happened. The town council has neglected to maintain their property."
"We've had a big boost in passenger travel from tourists, so this will create a big problem if they are now disinclined to come to the town. This will hit the local economy, so we've been pushing for this job to be done quickly."
