“Far worse than had been expected”

An interesting report on the state of this invaluable local footbridge. The West Sussex county councillor who is quoted at length sounds like he might be a surveyor or an engineer in real life (he’s actually a solicitor). The last time I was down there, some time ago, walkers and local pedestrians were simply ignoring the ‘Bridge Closed’ signs and H&S stuff and crossing anyway. The Adur is not a river you can jump or wade across.
