A FOOTBRIDGE over the A329m that connects Earley and Woodley is being considered for improvements following a monitoring inspection in December that found no safety concerns that could lead to its closure.
Cllr Norman Jorgensen (Con, Maiden Erlegh) asked Cllr Paul Fishwick, the executive member for active travel, transport and highways, for more details about the future of the crossing, which helps link Earley station with Woodley.
“The council is currently investigating improvements to this bridge,” he said, adding there were investigations over whether the bridge needed refurbishment or replacement.
Cllr Jorgensen said this was different to what they had been told over the past couple of years, and wanted to know what had changed and what the timescales would be.
“We need to await the findings from that report,” Cllr Fishwick responded. “That will determine the next steps going forward.”
