Families in privacy fight over bridge
A DISTRICT councillor has called for an inquiry into what can be done to help residents who feel their privacy has been compro- mised by a new railway footbridge in Stroud. Network Rail has replaced two pedestrian crossings at Downfield Road and Beards Lane with a new bridge at Central Road, which opened to the public on Wednes- day, February 5. It says the bridge, which will be
used by hundreds of pupils from Archway, Marling and Stroud High Schools, will provide safer
access. Network Rail added that the work was part of a drive to im- prove safety ahead of the upgrade of the Kemble to Swindon line. But the new bridge has not been
well received by some Central Road residents, who say those us- ing the structure will be able to see into back gardens and homes. Stroud district councillor Deb-
bie Young (Con, Chalford) told the SNJ that although Network Rail has installed privacy screens around the bridge, there are still places where bridge users can see into homes.
At an SDC housing committee meeting on Thursday night, Cllr Young was supported in her mo- tion to investigate what council officers could do to help alleviate the lack of privacy for residents and to try to get some compensa- tion for residents who suffered from a lack of sleep while the bridge was being built. Aspokesman from Network Rail
said: “We are currently working with the council to look into in- stalling one-way window film on the rear windows of their proper- ties.”
