In progress
Public footpath Near Windows Cruise Covert, Uxbridge
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council 1 day, 5 hours, 36 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 9827373.
Lovely new footpath and bridges in the North of Denham Country park including new boardwalk. However, it just ends in the middle of the woods because there is no bridge over the west arm of the Colne. Denham Country Parks say that it is the responsibility of Bucks Council Rights of Way Team. Grateful if you can clarify will it get built and if so when?
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.

Thank you for your enquiry, the issue you have reported will be investigated by a Rights of Way Officer. The route may be inspected to carry out an assessment of condition and responsibility; where maintenance is required this will be added to the list of works programmed to be undertaken by our works contractors/volunteers. Or where necessary we will contact the landowner on any matter that is their responsibility. The record will be updated when we have confirmation the work has been completed.
