Cockhedge Foot Bridge

[Latchford Locks]

I have noticed over the last couple of weeks that it is closed to pedestrians.

No reason given and no sign of any work being done on it.

Does anyone know why it is shut.

It makes a hazardous crossing of the road now for shoppers with children.

I'm sure the foot fall will be hit by this.

I haven't used it for a couple of years now because the bridge itself looks hazardous and in need of a full overhaul!

To be honest I've not walked over it for years so hadn't even noticed it was closed. 

I always walk on the 'flat ground' and cross the road as it's not a very busy road but yes I guess if you had kids with you it could be a bit of a hazard
with it being the bus route and also used by speedy taxis.

There are light controlled crossings outside the Looking Glass and by the bus station too.
