Sent to Oxfordshire County Council and West Oxfordshire District Council less than a minute later
The footbridge at the bottom of Bracken Close has rotted and is on the verge of collapse. The treadway has partially given way. I have taped off the area effected

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

Area has been fenced off. No safety signage or any updates as to when the bridge will be fixed. Pedestrians now forced to go a longer alternative route. Or, jump the brook

Thank you for your enquiry. We have raised a cat1 defect for the barriers to be secured and the debris to be cleared from the stream.

This continues to be a problem. Temporary fencing has been torn down and is unsafe and extremely unsightly. I feel that over 4 months in this state is unacceptable.

I think the problem is, that the original post that states the bridge is on the verge of collapse is not correct. Its fallen a little, but sat on a concrete plinth. People are risk assessing the crossing themselves. But I agree, the state of the area is unsightly and needs addressing.
