The scaffolding was taken down from the roof of the County Hall but still remained in place awaiting the new balustrades – which have been added over the last two days.  Scaffolding has also gone back up round the copula as something got knocked, possibly when the scaffolding was removed, and needs straightening up.

Meanwhile my most recent picture of the lift was taken a week ago and shows the hole when it was 4 metres deep. It could be 5 or even 6 metres by now.
