Is not this quite scandalous? Is the right hon. Gentleman aware of the fact that the cost of this bridge is about £30,000 or £40,000; that it is on the route which was originally suggested as a by-pass for Musselburgh, and that it is used to relieve the shopping centre of Musselburgh from the considerable volume of heavy traffic that passes through it? Is it not a waste of public money if the bridge is not to be used for general needs?
