leading to Shotover. I've managed to get hold of Oxford County Council today
who inform me that it's a permanent structure as the bridge has weakened on one
side and they don't want vehicles using the left hand side of the bridge coming
down from Shotover. I voiced my concern over the safety of this barrier due to
the sharp bend once you come off the bridge. I stood and watched vehicles
coming face to face with each other once they reached the end of the bridge.
Cyclists are particularly at risk as there is no room for them to avoid
oncoming traffic.
I was told that there is no money to repair the bridge and that it wasn't a
busy road and not an important bridge to repair. I think someone from the
council ought to come and sit on this bridge and see for themselves just how
busy this road is and how dangerous this barrier is!
Like to hear others views on this.
