Thank you for your enquiry. This issue has been passed onto the relevant team for investigation.

This public right of way is the main route for many villagers to Middle Barton Primary School, with the Mill Ford being completely impassable. Since the floodwater has receded, another hole (smaller red circle ) is evident, meaning there is only a small strip of tarmac to accommodate 'single file' transit onto the bridge.

One more photo, with smaller red circle referred to in my earlier update.

Thank you for your report. We will urgently attend the location with temporary barrier and/or cones to keep the area safe whilst a permanent repair is organised. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
