The surface condition of the three bridges on King Arthurs Way are clearly in a very poor state. Local resident and County Councillor Robin Hughes has spoken to county council officers with the view of the bridges being repaired later in the year. " These bridges are used by so many people to go to and from the local schools and shops. If they are not resurfaced then I am concerned that there will be many slips and falls on those cold and frosty winter mornings". " The surface of the bridges need to be repaired and replaced with a new anti-skid surface before the start of the winter months. So local residents cross the bridges with confidence". Letters will be sent to local residents when the bridges are to be resurfaced.
