Tommy Two Stroke, you are way behind times. That October 2017 date was just the latest date when our esteemed council said that Galliford Try would be starting work. But as builderboy says above, the council awarded Galliford the contract in June 2015. Since then they have messed Gallifords about with their on/off tactics basically because they haven't had the money in place to do the work. Now they again reckon that they have the money, but only enough for the June 2015 price. Galliford have given them a revised tender with increases for price rises in materials, increased design costs, extra work which has been added to the agreed tender and other associated costs. The clever children at the council have said, "no,Mr Galliford, we want it done at the June 2015 price". To which Galliford have said in polite terms, "sod off Wigan Council, we have got bigger and better things to do with our time than deal with you bunch of amateurs".
So it now has to go back out to tender again and the process starts all over again.
