MOTION NO. 6

MOTION: Councillor E. Murphy

That the Chief Executive agrees to urgently repair the pedestrian bridge on Edmondstown Road - there is significant damage to the bridge and is in need of repair.

REPORT:

Due to the frequency of complaints received about the pedestrian bridge linking Edmondstown Road and Prospect Manor Estate, it is now being inspected weekly by Public Realm staff and any repairs required are organised as a matter of urgency.  The replacement in full of the bridge deck has been included on the Public Realm Improvement Works Programme for 2021 which is to be presented to the elected members at the County Council meeting on Monday February 8th.  A tender process for the necessary works is due to commence soon and replacement of the bridge deck will take place following completion of the tender process, the appointment of a contractor and the lifting of Covid 19 restrictions.
