There are still timelines with which local authorities still have to comply no matter how complex, and they have to come back with a decision. They may look for further information but I am saying that we have tenders that are sitting in Departments and in the meantime, the cost of doing the project has gone through the roof. Like in the case of the Glashaboy flood relief scheme, the contractor walked away from it and it is now back out to the tendering process again.
