"Our" Bridge Has New Railings ........

Following on from last weeks latest bridge development, we now have an update as relayed by the watchful and ever vigilant Sir Eric.

At first a row of stabilized, red, rather battered and bent, barriers was put up along the ledge between the road and the footpath  .......

..... which had the little fella proclaiming that they offered very little protection to man, beast or hedgehog .....

..... when considering the size of the heavily laden lorries that thunder beneath and betwixt, as if there's no tomorrow, particularly first thing in the morning.

However, a couple of days later there was a further erection, this time, following a very thorough inspection by Eric, (to be honest, I surprised he didn't get his clipboard out)  .......

...... which he deemed to be a far more robust affair than the previous incumbent  .......

 ...... painted a bright, bright yellow, that the aforementioned lorries surely could not miss .......

...... thus offering, once again, safe passage to all pedestrians, cyclists and the odd horse/rider combo, happy days all round!
