thanks peter for your reply . the landlords scheme may change things , its a long shoot . your friends who live in eastwood need to contact the council , council are well aware of the ongoing problems in eastwood , have been for 4 years , its a real hot topic in eastwood . thanks .

hi peter , i more than agree with you about eastwood and the eu people . very bad landlords have a lot to answer in eastwood . the local field which all the 3 bridges link to has human waste and all sorts of litter on it , in summer time this lot will be along the canal toe path too .its also a worry about the number of swans which ive seen dead in the canal, one the another day had a large open wound on its back , are they being sent upon or is it a fox ?

peter , is a public right of way , it cant be forgot about , just like waddingtons shutting the canal toe path off some years ago with a "fence" how long did that last before it was broke down ? this bridge also leads to a bailey bridge , a war time bridge which people need to see and understand the history of sir donald bailey . you cant tell me about the people who live in eastwood ..... its a ongoing saga most have only been in eastwood a few weeks , there are still good people in eastwood as well .

umm.. on the shoplifting thing , police told resident s that shoplifters where taken the bridge route for a quick get away ... but many people also use the bridge for work and access to parkgate etc..

yes this is the bridge in question, but the steps at both ends have now been chopped up . latest now is , crt have owned up to ownership of the bridge a new one will take till september to make and put in place , according to crt , because an alternative route is available , they can close the bridge for any time , well all i can say is , lets see if shoplifting take a nose dive at parkgate shopping complex .

hi , its none listed here , its EASTWOOD FOOTBRIDGE , eastwood rotherham . ive been onto local council who state , its a canal matter they have once again told me , a new bridge will not be in place until september . am on with the local cllr issue too .... i dont hold my breath with that to be honest .

sorry but this make no sense what so ever, around 3 weeks ago ,a sign was pinned to a lamp post very near to the said bridge , the sign read , work will take 3 weeks ... signed by rotherham council. now you are saying september before a new bridge is installed . council dont know for sure who owns this bridge ...nor does crt ? i was lead to belive a fairly new bridge belongs to local council . local police are telling residents that the bridge was taken down because of shoplifting in parkgate retail world . as said before , this is a public right of way .

hi all , can someone please tell me ,who owns this bridge , rotherham council of crt ? am a resident of eastwood ,for the last 30 years , i cant belive this bridge has been "chopped down" and left in the mess its in . its more of a hazard now that it was before ! ive also seen kids climbing up the bridge and jumping of the other end .its not going to be long before someone hurts themself . this is a public right of way even well before the parkgate shopping complex . can anyone shed any light on the ownership of the bridge ? thanks .
