@PlatoonPod 100% correct
Those that rely on this industry of red tape will never let anything change

A sizeable part of the UK economy is kept afloat by a policy of Keynesian Incompetence.
The government cannot actually build anything - the cost estimate for this project (a tunnel and a couple of junctions) ballooned to over £1bn - but it can keep consultants, lawyers, advisors, lobbyists and archeologists in gainful employment by starting projects anyway.
It is more politically palatable to pay people to talk about digging holes for a few years than it is to put middle class professionals on the dole, even though it amounts to much the same thing in the end.
(Apropos of nothing, this £179,000,000 could have funded the NHS for about 8 hours.)

@castlefacts1 @castlehunteruk @EnglishHeritage I’m assuming there were ditches, moats or some earthworks at the lower end as a first line of defence? Or did it have an outer wall like Beeston ?

Chartley is a funny old place.
The castle was designed to be viewed from the road, with the towers on the curtain wall all facing it. The modern road follows the line of the medieval route to the Welsh Marches and Chester. The wall on the other side of the castle is now mostly lost but probably had no curtain towers.
anyway a pic

@castlehunteruk @EnglishHeritage When you look at your pic, you can see the resemblance to its sister castle, Chartley, also rebuilt and modernised by Earl Ranulf of Chester 👌

@DaveNic92 @EnglishHeritage Exactly, and looks incredible on its perch as well

@BGatesIsaPyscho Supermarkets during the same period have squeezed and put farmers out of business with price cuts - can you guess who has shares in Tesco Supermarket ? #BlackRock

The first castle to have been built in the UK for nearly 100 years.
Whilst there is still a lot of work to do, Piers and Emma's fortification promises to be absolutely monumental.

@NotFarLeftAtAll And yet Peter Mandelson is welcome in the Labour Party and was given the Ambassador to the US job in government when they knew he was friends with Epstein 🤷♂️
Are labour just incompetent or truly blind ?
