We've been urging local councillors SUCH AS YOURSELF to get this (& other problem bridges) for more than two years to get these properly repaired (pic of last year's plea).

It's now been three years since a report was raised about this (and OTHER) collapsing bridges around Witney. Why "Certain Councillors" are asking what's going on when they have had actual responsibities & involvement for yonks, we really can't understand ! Let's hope that when "Someone" actually gets on with a proper re-build, it'll be better than that at Langdale Common: inadequate handrails warping & snapping off, cracks re-opening, etc all showing incompetent specification, contracting, supervision and sign-off (for which Someone should have been sacked)
