I understand the council has under consideration the extension and widening of the existing slipway but detailed proposals have not yet been submitted to me.
That will be done, for example, by providing moorings or slipways at either end of the passage under the bridges.
I would point out to him that a vessel built on an old-fashioned slipway has to be built at an angle.
There are no slipways and inadequate repair facilities.
It will probably take about five months to carry out the further work of making the slipway more convenient after the extension has been completed.
No acceptable tenders as regards either cost or time of completion were received for the construction of a new slipway according to the original plans.
A covered slipway containing stores was completely destroyed.
The consulting engineers expect to let me have a detailed scheme for the improvement of the ferry slipway by the end of this month.
