Even more bizarre is the news that the toll plaza approaching the southern end of the Forth Road Bridge is in the running for a design prize ... despite it being currently demolished.
"THE doomed Forth Road Bridge tollbooth canopy is in line for a major design award – just as it is being torn down. The structure, which cost more than £5 million to design and build, is being scrapped following the decision by the Scottish Government to drop bridge tolls ... Despite this it has now been named as one of more than 100 entries shortlisted for this year's Civic Trust awards, which aim to encourage projects that are "culturally, socially or economically beneficial", and make "an outstanding contribution to the quality and appearance of the environment".
Mmmmm. The Civic Trust really need to get out more.
