Foot bridge rails down at Mowbray fields

Reported via mobile anonymously at 05:15, Tue 18 February 2025

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council and South Oxfordshire District Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7149294.

The bridge railings have fallen away into the steam leaving it wide open and this requires action before somebody falls over a metre into the stream breaks a leg etc the lack of maintenance is staggering and inaction this needs to be close for use asap. steel railings are required and concrete placed on the big step down on the south side to prevent injury to persons using it. this is a law suit waiting to happen.

Council ref: ENQ251037251

    This bridge has been reported as unsafe on multiple occasions, it is in Didcot Parish and the Town Clerk has passed reports on to the relevant teams who have not prioritised it to be repaired. Please sort this out before someone is injured either on the bridge or on the broken wood/nails left to the side of the path.

  • CAMS Team reply: Thank you for submitting a problem using the [CLIENTNAME] rights of way online reporting system. Your submission has been rejected.

    Reason for rejection: Many thanks for your online report. This bridge does not form part of the adjacent public footpath, as it gives access into the nature reserve. We understand the bridge is owned by either Earth Trust or the district council. We've passed your report, and contact details, on to them. Regards Countryside Access Team.

    A quick online search shows that the Mowbray nature reserve is owned by South Oxfordshire District Council and Managed by the Earth trust.
