Final stretch

Work starts tomorrow upgrading the final 220 metre section of the Douglas Terrace walkway. The contract for the work amounts to £887,579 and includes widening of the elevated walkway, removal of the existing parapet and replacement with a new post and rail barrier, infilling under the structure and new surfacing, all to match the previously refurbished sections.  
My constituents will be aware that I have been championing improvements for this walkway for a decade and a half.  During this time various sections have been refurbished and it will be very satisfying to see the walkway completed in its entirety.
