The Bridge at the bottom of Fielding road ahs been closed for 15 weeks now when the original contract was for 13 weeks.

Major corrosion has been found in metal work under the bridge and buried in the concrete that has just been exposed. It is a matter of fact that local Liberal Democrats told them that is what they would find when a repair was first proposed and that is why we pressed for a new bridge.

But as you know our Conservatives knew best and decided on a repair only policy that means that the bridge will now remain closed until Mid August.

Not only are we annoyed that we were not listened to in the first place but the issue of the additional cost to the council tax payer and the inconvenience that is caused to residents is also of concern.

 We will be asking the Councils executive member to explain why it is all now going pear shaped and what he intends to do about it.
