Action scheduled
Damage bridge. Very dangerous
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council 1 month, 1 week, 2 days, 5 hours, 7 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 9256799.
The drainage ditches in the Iver heath fields complex haven't been maintained for years, which means during heavy rain, the water can't run off. The water instead runs through the public footpaths which has now washed away the bridge footings. This has left large holes either side of the bridge and it's extremely dangerous for pedestrians and dogs.
This is a popular, highly used area and someone is going to end up dropping down the holes and breaking an ankle.
Please fix ASAP.
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.
