The Black Potts footbridge over the Jubilee River between Datchet and Eton is rotten, unsafe and dangerous. Built over the Jubilee River about 25 years ago by the Environment Agency, RBWM is now responsible for the bridge which has been closed since mid-2025 but is still being used. If no action is taken, this bridge will collapse in the same way as the Ashford Lane bridge. So who is going to pay to repair or replace this bridge? The latest Black Potts footbridge video is now uploaded to YouTube

The matter of all of the failed footbridges is an agenda Item that will be raised with the EA Regional Director at our Meeting with the EA on 22nd January at Datchet Parish Office.
