Why Hasn’t Footbridge Been Built After 3 Years?

Written by on 28th August 2018

There are calls for rail bosses to hurry up and build a pedestrian bridge over the tracks in Little Bowden.

It’s now over three years since a light-controlled crossing over the railway was closed, after being deemed a safety risk.

It was used by dozens of people a day, who since then have faced a long diversion route.

The bridge – to link Glebe Road with Braybrooke Road – was given planning permission in 2016.

Network Rail isn’t giving a reason for the continued delay – it’s told HFM it can’t confirm when it will go up.
