The bridge over a miniature railway in Scarborough was closed in 2020 due to safety concerns.
The bridge in Scarborough was built in the late 1960s, but was closed for safety reasons in 2020
Until its closure in 2020 due to safety concerns, the bridge gave pedestrian access to Scarborough's North Bay promenade from Burniston Road.But after an earlier deferred decision, councillors said it should be repaired and designated a public right of way., the original proposal to demolish the bridge and redirect pedestrians to a level crossing had met with numerous objections from members of the public and councillors.
It was found that the repair bill would be about £79,000, with an extra £10,000 required for further work in 10 years, a meeting of Scarborough Council's planning committee heard."If you're going to take away a safe route, I'm not having my name attached to it," he said.
