Poole's 21 million pound Twin Sails Bridge has broken down twice in the last three days.

It was out of action for nearly two hours on Sunday afternoon - and yesterday morning failed to lift as scheduled at 11.30 and was unusable for 2 and a half hours.

The council's apologised - saying the problems have been caused by a fault with the control system - and an engineer's on-site today to look at it.
