The Skye Bridge Story | Multi-national Interests and People Power (Author Signed) Anderson, Andy (Book #ID 119579) Published by Argyll Publishing, Glendaruel, Colintraivie, Argyll First Edition 2008. 2008. First edition hard back binding in publisher's original grey cloth covered boards, blocked and lettered silver back, aqua blue lining papers. 8vo. 9¾'' x 7''. The story of the Skye Bridge tolls ran for more than ten years. It is a story that goes right to the heart of government policy - the Skye Bridge was the first Public Finance Initiative in the UK, where a public project is built by private capital and the builder charges for the facility for years to come. The Skye and Lochalsh community felt a strong sense of injustice about what was being imposed on them from afar and The Skye Bridge Story is an entertaining and gripping account of events. Andy Anderson was a Skye Bridge campaigner who was charged and held in prison for his refusal to pay the bridge tolls. He has been assisted by numerous local people in the compilation of this book. Contains 253 pp bilingual Gaelic | English text with colour photographs. Fine condition book in Fine condition dust wrapper, not price clipped.
