The Port Augusta City Council has run into strife after attempting to remove 500 shopping trolleys from beneath the Port Augusta wharf.

Retailers originally agreed to pay 90% of the removal costs, with the project estimated to cost $15,000. However, that cost has almost tripled due to delays caused by the weather, and a crane fault, forcing the council to ask for more money.

Some of the piles of trolleys are over six metres tall and pose a serious hazard to anyone who jumps or falls into the water.

Britain’s current nursing gap could widen to 50,000 people once it leaves the EU and it is feared that its supply of critical medicines will be disturbed if the UK leaves the union without a deal.
