Despite promise after promise the foot Bridge over the river Avon at the bottom of Fielding’s road is still not open.

I will asking the Conservative cabinet member who is responsible for this project the following questions for tomorrow nights cabinet meeting. I will let you know his reply and what excuses that he gives.

1) What is the final cost of the repair to the footbridge repair over the River Avon between Fielding’s Road and Locksbrook Road?

2) What is the length of time over run on this Bridge?

3) Will a full report be made available to Councillors and the Public as to why costs have exceeded the original estimate and to why the project has taken so long?

4) Will the council be issuing an apology to local residents for the amount of inconvenienced they have had to put up with for such a lengthy closure of a bridge that was supposed to be only closed for 3 months as our own estimates tell us this is now nearly 8 months.
