Roadbridge starts 'singing' again
Shaldon Bridge
Engineers are to investigate why the bridge is still whistling
Devon's notorious "singing bridge" is making residents angry again with its strange noise.

After it was refurbished in 2002, Shaldon Bridge developed a piercing F-sharp whistle in high winds which kept residents awake at night.

A local man traced the problem to some tubes acting like organ pipes and the problem was solved.

Devon County Council engineers are to reinvestigate because residents have complained about a new lower note.
