LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Sir,
The disagreement between TIE, the Edinburgh tram company, and their erstwhile contractors could offer a major new opportunity for employment in Scotland.
With the increasing number of unemployed, many from our rapidly contracting financial sector, what better time to return to traditional pick and shovel methods for building the tramway?
On minimum wage (or, cheaper still, on Job Creation Schemes paying the same as the dole) a new generation of navvies should easily be able to complete the undertaking within a reasonable period.
And, by removing the need for environmentally polluting earth moving machinery, it would make the whole project even more Green!
Sincerely,
John Eoin Douglas
