Having been closed since mid-2025, I suspect that Black Potts footbridge is about to collapse. The sign on the barrier suggests that repair is being considered – but in my opinion that is not a realistic option.
At least the footbridge is now properly barriered – but just check out the sagging handrails.
And the sign states as follows:
Just look at the state of the joints!
I suspect that this will become a May 2027 RBWM election issue!
It should be noted that Temple, Ashford Lane and the Allotment footbridges are also closed.
