The current situation
The bridge abutments and training wall were repaired in December which allows full traffic with no weight restrictions over the structure. A repair to the riverbed was also completed but is being monitored to determine wither a more extensive repair is required in the future.

How it happened
The bridge itself was damaged in the extreme weather, with high water levels washing part of it away.
This affected bin collections for a small number of properties.
To provide an alternative temporary bin collection service for those households affected, we have sited large communal bins at the main road side of the unstable embankment, where our bin lorries can safely access. We are asking customers please, when they are passing, to dispose of their waste and recycling in these large bins for now, until we can reinstate the embankment and resume normal service.
