I wonder how much longer that will be there

I heard that some time ago CRT had a significant bequest - specifically to replace the ladder bridge with a wheel-chair friendly bridge, but nothing has happened yet.

 

Perhaps the ladder bridge could then be moved to Welford to go over the basin entrance.

From what I read the bequest was only going to cover about half the costs of replacing the bridge so further fundraising was required but I expect Covid has got in the way.
