■ quently damaging the parapet and Bradford Bridge was closed for several weeks before Christmas, leading to diversions and inconven ience for residents and businesses. Officers and elected members
from Lancashire County Council, Ribble Valley Council and West Bradford Parish Council met in private to discuss the problem and possible solutions.
In the short-term, the county
council will provide temporary warning signs on the West Brad ford side of the bridge, located in
consultation with parish council lors. The county council will also ex-
plore the possibility of CCTV mon itoring on the bridge.
For the longer term, county of
ficers will carry out a study and provide costings for the realign ment of the sharply curved ap proach to the bridge from the West Bradford side. They will also review the local road network to establish a pre- ■
ferred route for heavy and long vehicles in accessing communities north of the river. This will include discussions with
Ribble Valley Borough Council to establish potential development. The study is expected to be com
pleted by May and a follow-up meeting with local representatives will discuss the findings of the study and consider recommendations. Coun. Michael Ranson, leader
of Ribble Valley Council, said: “It was a very encouraging and con structive meeting, with,some good dialogue between the parish coun cil and county council.”
