Dangerous bridge       17/8/14

 

The pedestrian bridge at Sponish, Lochmaddy is not safe for use, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar warns.

 

An engineer’s report highlighted that the dangerous state of the structure.

 

The move follows an inspection which shows that the bridge, built in the late 1980s, needs renovation.

 

It is unclear if the bridge will be upgraded or who will pay for repairs.

 

The Comhairle said it is in discussions with the landowner and other interested parties.
