Bridge is damaged/missing problem

Reported in the Bridge is damaged/missing category by Gloucestershire County Council at 11:51, Mon 9 October 2023

FixMyStreet ref: 5089536.

Gen Enq rcvd 07.10.23 - Hello Are you aware of the broken footbridge at Whaddon - opposite the site of Wynstones School - which takes you over a stagnant ditch and a walk across fields to the Gloucester Services? The wooden bridge is made of plank-width treads and the second one in, on the Pound Farm-side, was soft but yesterday it was actually broken. For anyone coming from the farm side, they may put their foot straight down through the hole and it’s a deep fall from there. Now the third tread has begun to split. It really is very dangerous. (I have a photograph of the bridge for identification if you’d like it!) When our dog comes over it she leaps over the low-level bar and lands on the bridge. Yesterday, I had to carry her to prevent her from falling down the hole into the ditchwater. Please could it be fixed asap please?
