Very pleased to see North Tyneside Council are finally starting work repairing this footbridge - with a right of way - that they wanted to demolish.

The rather steep bit of land the bridge ends on is for sale. It'll be interesting to see what happens to that, if anything.

Yes, the suspicion at the time was that the council wanted to demolish the bridge to expand the development opportunities here - will be very interesting to keep an eye on...

That was what I first thought when I saw it, so it's good to see the bridge being repaired.

The council don't have a choice now, thankfully, and thanks to the planning inspector. How seriously they take its repair and maintenance is another question...
