Below is an extract from my email to EA dated 21-8-2025
Thank you for your email and it was a surprise and pleasure to receive a response from you personally. I sent my original email to _______ simply because I am concerned that (in the most general of terms) the EA does not appear to learn and do better as time goes on. To be precise my concern is not with the individuals but more about EA corporate cultural and policy shortcomings and the lack of accountability.
I will mention that I am now looking yet again at the partially repaired Berry Hill footbridge (No 2 over the Jubilee River). In particular I have noted that concrete walls inhibit or prevent inspection/maintenance of the structure. I will be raising this and other concerns at the next Parish Council Meeting.
I must also mention that I am extremely unhappy that local Authorities are now having to bear the costs of maintenance, repair or replacement of bridges that were not there prior to the construction of the Jubilee River.
Please feel free to contact me.
