Three footbridges closed over Jubilee River!

Posted on September 14, 2026 by ecwlarcombe

For the record there are now three footbridges over the Jubilee River CLOSED and barriered because they are rotten and unsafe.

Two sections of the Ashford Lane footbridge have recently collapsed into the river.  The Allotments (pictured) and Black Potts footbridges are fenced off and unusable.  Constructed from timber by the Environment Agency about 25 years ago, responsibility for these bridges was handed over to the local authorities i.e. RBWM, Slough and Bucks.  You paid for these footbridges.  The question is – when will these footbridges be replaced?
