Bar missing across frame

Reported via desktop in the Bridges category by Cllr Melvin Pearce at 20:31, Tue 29 July 2025

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7951611.

The top bar across the frame has been taken away and it's allowing motorbikes to cross the bridge. This is causing the residents a lot of problems as its supposed to be a FOOTPATH not a cycleway to annoy and disturb residents. If a Kissing gate was installed it would stop the Motorbikes but still allow Walkers, Cyclist and sometimes Prams.

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.
