Large Gap on Bridge Railings

There is a large gap, big enough for children to fit through, on the skatepark bridge. Can this be filled in?
Updates
-
Not all bridges and structures in Buckinghamshire are the responsibility Highways, other bodies that own bridges and structures include:
- Network Rail: structures associated with the ‘live’railway
- National Highways: Motorways
- Canal and River Trust
- Rights of Way
We undertake annual inspections of structures on the Highway that we are responsible for, including special inspections if needed (e.g., collision damage), we also carry out regular maintenance, along with strengthening works to keep our bridges and structures safe and operational, with a minimum of disruption.
The structures team will carry out an assessment of the bridge and if is our responsibility we will arrange for a site inspection and raise an order to carry out any works required.
If the bridge is not the responsibility of Buckinghamshire Highways we will forward this report to the relevant organisation.

Update
We have fully investigated your issue and found that the area/issue is not the responsibility of Buckinghamshire Council.
Unfortunately, we do not hold landownership details, an option for you would be to contact Land Registry, who will be able to provide you with the ownership/responsibility details so that you can progress you enquiry/issue further.
Apologies that we could not be more helpful, I am sure you can understand that we must only use public money to repair/resolve issues we are responsible for.
