SLIP UP OVER RAIL BRIDGE

06 May 2005

In March last year, engineers declared the Slip Bridge unsafe. It was caged off and banned from public use. Yet the council's proposal (Post, April 26) to relocate the bridge along the promenade is to allow pedestrians, cyclists, and the land train to pass through the span, is an accident waiting to happen.

The council also intends to plant trees along the side of the span, and refurbish it with paint.

Is the planting of trees to hide the bridge because of their infantile idea, or will they allow contractors to coat it with invisible paint, so their big embarrassment won't be seen at all?

Any persons wishing to protest against this fiasco can obtain a complaints card from the reception desk at County Hall or the Guildhall.

Or, if they wish, can contact the Local Government Ombudsman on 01656 641150.
