It is a serious problem. Our most recent project is in Newport. A development was planned but the main contractor has pulled out. We have to go right back to the start again. I can see such a situation occurring in other instances as well because the profit margins are not sufficient for the developer to proceed. Are we tied to a project having to go back to the very beginning of the procurement process?
