Permission was given for Ed Morton to be allowed access to inspect the bridge at close quarters from Highways' pontoon and scaffolding tower ahead of their principal inspection tomorrow. Highways had to be reminded that their original position of not allowing access to Ed did not accord with the Dedham Vale AONB and Stour Valley 2021 -26 Management Plan which sets out how different organizations can work together to ensure the best for the AONB and Stour Valley.  

Ed is the Managing Director of The Morton Partnership Ltd and has over 30 years experience working particularly in conservation and the repair and adaption of historic buildings and structures. He is privileged to be the appointed Engineer to Westminster Abbey, York Minster, Canterbury, Durham, Southwark and Ely Cathedrals.

Projects Ed has worked on include St George’s Hall in Liverpool, Stowe House in Buckinghamshire, The Ironbridge, The Palace of Westminster, Wollaton Hall and Park in Nottingham, The City Hall in Georgetown, Guyana and Ballyfin House in Ireland, as well as many others.

We are indebted to Ed for his continued generous support and look forward to reading his report.
