Black Potts footbridge has been closed for nearly one year. The notice suggests a Black Potts footbridge repair but I don’t think so. The entire structure is rotten and steadily sagging towards collapse. The bridge is now barriered off but the collapsed state cannot be hidden.
The footbridge is in three sections and this is the worst. When the structure collapses the water level monitoring equipment will be damaged or destroyed.
This is the (out of date) footpath diversion notice
This red notice on the barrier refers to ‘essential repairs’.
We are left with the two questions – who is going to pay and when will this problem be fixed?
