Somewhat let down by Transport Scotland's misgovernment of the completion of Queensferry Crossing which needs retrofitting of a solution to prevent ice falling from the cables onto the carriageway risking damaging vehicles, requiring the bridge to be closed rarely in winter.

Misgovernment includes :-

1) withholding technical information about the engineering specifications for no good reason

2) failing to commission ICE-buster Peter Dow to solve the problem of ice falling onto the carriageway

3) ruling out a heated cable technology solution before properly testing the concept
