Short time working was operated on arterial drainage construction works for a period of a week in October 1988 in order to curtail the excess in expenditure which would otherwise have occurred. Additional finance was provided thus removing the necessity for further short time. An amount of £1.3 million was originally provided in 1988 for construction works on the Boyle-Bonet Scheme.
