I WAS interested to read your report which said that the Scottish Government is considering proposals for a programme of capital expenditure which includes a new road crossing of the Forth ("Mapping out a £70bn bid to boost Scottish economy", The Herald, December 7)).
If the outcome of the investigation of the cables of the existing Forth Bridge shows that protective treatment of the cables is possible (say by instalments), then the budget for a new bridge should be re-allocated to other capital projects.
Forth crossing is not necessary
