Chanterlands Avenue rail bridge cleaning


John Fareham and John Abbott report that the Council is engaging specialist cleaning contractors to remove green slime and graffiti from the Chanterlands Avenue railway bridge.

These works, which will begin in January, are of course entirely separate from the proposals for the decoration of the bridge that we are working on in conjunction with our Avenue Ward colleagues, and will involve some disruption to pedestrian access under the bridge while the work is in progress.  As soon as we have more details of the start date and duration of the works we will of course let local residents know, but we thought it wise to make sure that all concerned were aware that these works were in the pipeline.  Of course there are other issues to be addressed relating to the structure and long-term wellbeing of the bridge, and we will continue to press for results on those, but we welcome this development as a potential indication that prolonged pressure on those issues has resulted in the work being scheduled.
