Cloddach Bridge has been closed and we the local residents  would like to petition the local council to repair or replace and reopen the bridge.

We understand that the council have budget constraints but this bridge provides a vital transport link for rural communities.

It can be argued that an effective programme of maintenance over the preceding years would have prolonged the life of the bridge.

Clearly busy routes will always take priority but the impact this bridge being closed is having on locals who are now having their commute or school run heavily impacted is huge.

This impact is not being considered at this stage. But for the people who are being affected it is becoming difficult or impossible to work and remain resident in the area when travel times have increased so much.
