    The construction company behind the project, Wilmott Dixon, says the delay was down to bad weather conditions and "setbacks".

    Quote Message

    It was apparent to all those working on the project that due to damp, wintery conditions it would be unlikely that we would be able to finish [on time]... Since then we have been met with setbacks that have meant that our supply chain partner, originally responsible for painting the top floor, has now been replaced.

  14. Humber tunnel 'could push up price of your gas bill'published at 12:18 British Summer Time 28 September 2018

    A project to build a three-mile tunnel under the Humber for the gas network will be funded by consumers.

    Earlier this year Ofgem said National Grid would have to fund the £140m project to tunnel between Goxhill in North Lincolnshire and Paull in East Yorkshire itself.

    Quote Message

    We welcome Ofgem's decision on this important project, which will carry up to 20% of the country's gas, and we will continue to focus on delivering it safely and reliably at the lowest cost to the bill payer."

    Gary, who preferred to not give his surname, told the BBC he had spent a fortune bringing the property back to a good standard.

    It means people receive all their benefits in one payment and pay their own rent direct to landlords.

    Gary says some tenants aren't doing that, leaving him and other landlords out of pocket.
