Controversy over bridge rolls on

Council Community Com­ mittee agreed to support the establishment of the footpath over Spring Bridge as a public right of way, and to the possibility of spending £400 to £500 on improving the surface of the section of footpath which belongs to the bor­ ough council. But councillors rejected


Coun. John McGowan said that he had received a let­ ter from a woman, whose husband had helped build the bridge, stating that it had not been closed once in the last 63 years.

the borough council should contribute towards the bridge’s maintenance, Coun. Harry Backhouse (Waddington) said: "If it is not a right of way it is not our responsibility." Coun.
