pandarilla Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 So there we have it. Totally bizarre. Surely a decision can be made about essential work?Like you mentioned earlier, if someone has half a roof, then that needs to be fixed.But if it's not in any way 'urgently needing done' then cancel the job.The government advice is very clear at the moment, but they can't go into every single detail for every industry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy birthday x2 is useful I’ve heard. As a tribute to the late Kenny Rogers. "You took a fine time to leave me Lucille. Four hundred children and a crop in the field" He also did another song called "Highland Industries". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it’s clear from that tweet that construction sites should carry on regardless of wether or not they’re essential. It’s an absolute nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 It would not be a problem if all construction work was stopped for a period of time, subject to things being made safe, watertight, etc. However the tweet I posted earlier makes it clear that this is NOT policy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
