Norways recycling rate rose 20% to 95% after DRS was brought. Glass wasn't included as they think kerbside is better and know the highest rates in Europe are kerbside, it also shot up to 90 odd %

I'm all for anything that works, I'm all for plastic and cans DRS

Not everywhere has kerbside glass recycling. I've got a trip to recycling centre for tomorrow with 2 boxes of glass (coffee and jam jars included 😉)

Doesn’t really matter about whether glass is right or not. It’s why can’t glass be included? What is the UK govt objection to glass over plastic or aluminium? How does including glass break the internal market law but the other two don’t?

I've been saying that is the solution for years. It works in more mountainous regions than here.

£470 million for a mile is that a typo

Probably not unfortunately. Civil engineering is expensive business.

That looks fantastic.

Something like this would have been done on the continent in the 70's.

There can be zero complaints about Hs2 or crossrail anymore surely, the billions of growth will be worth much more per pound than this.

It'll be worth every penny of the billion+ pounds it eventually costs.

Doing nothing is not an option unless we want to close of a large chunk of the country. Infrastructure is expensive but necessary.

Greens have entered the chat. I'm personally all for infrastructure projects, but I am pro hs2, crossrail, tram ect.

But their are loads that were going mental about English projects that I'm sure will be quiet if they are pro this

I never travel that route but think the money well spent if I don’t have to listen to constant updates about it being closed.

I know where S27 is coming from in a way.
Which budget is it coming out of?

It definitely needs done, 1.3 million vehicles use it annually.

I was pro HS2 when I thought it would come a good way north, less so now. I'm still bitter that the promises of getting on a train at Euro Central half way along the M8 and getting off in Paris were broken! .... not that I hold a grudge! :rofl:

yeah, they could have put up 50 meters of the structure below Samsons Ribs in the Queens/Kings park in Edinburgh.

They chose to cover the place in wire mesh.

Is that in Holyrood Park? Bloody royal family not willing to upkeep their garden!!!

[Mibbes Aye]

It's a bit of a blow for the landowner who owns Old Military Road. He's been paid nearly £1million for allowing it to be used over the last five or six years.

Aye, and mesh netting is there to stop loose rocks from falling onto the road, it would be as useful as a chocolate fireguard at the Rest and be Thankful.

Not so sure. This is essential to keep connectivity for a chunk of the Scotland instead of a healthy detour every time there’s a closure.
HS2 is IMO a vanity project to get quicker connection measured in Minutes. Is that really needed in any part of the country when there’s infrastructure projects that are better merited on a health and safety basis alone for starters.
The cost of HS2 that might benefit England will be eye watering.

Horses for courses. It works, so no need for the tunnel at Holyrood Park

Especially on a road that they regularly just shut for fun anyway.

It’ll be shut again for another six months soon enough when a few more rocks slip through the netting.

If Scotland becomes independent. It won't be via any legal routes, as there are no legal routes to independence.

[Ozyhibby]

I see Alba commissioned a poll which shows Yes ahead. I think that’s two in a row showing Yes ahead.
