Thank you to everyone who has contacted us about the rail electrification work. Claire Young will be meeting officers and a Network Rail representative later this month. If you have any comments on the gantries, please let Claire know.
At Monday's Parish Council meeting it was mentioned that Network Rail have stopped work for the time being on Halfpenny Bridge because they are concerned about the ability of the bridge to take the weight of the extra iron work. Claire contacted Network Rail for more information and was reassured that the bridge remains safe and open in the meantime. When they are ready to restart the work, they will have to go through the formal footpath closure process again. They would hope to do the work at night, as originally planned, so that the bridge can remain open in the daytime.
