General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

“Why does the council not come out and tell us why the delay???? “

In my opinion, if they are not telling the public the reason for the delay it means it’s not in the best interest for someone involved, including the public to know the reason for the delay.
Sub contractor issues.

I can think of several reasons for a delay, not just someone pulling out.

Planning constraints
Compulsory purchase delays
Funding issues
Contractual issues and disputes
Procurement and manning difficulties.

And if those involved see the reasons for the delay as confidential or prejudicial to their business and don’t want the public to know they won’t tell them……. That’s how it works.

Yes, someone could have pulled out, but myself?…. I will listen out an official statement, not listen out for rumours

Loose lips……sink ships…..and all that
