Footbridge just off Fordfield Road flitwick

Reported via mobile in the Bridges category anonymously at 18:47, Mon 22 April 2024

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 405782.

There is a wooden footbridge just off Fordfield road in Flitwick near to Flitwick fisheries. It’s wooden with three wooden planks and no hand rail. It’s the only footbridge across a large ditch. The middle wooden plank has come loose and there is a real danger of slipping into the deep ditch which would cause serious injury. Could someone take a look as a matter of urgency. This has heavy foot traffic at this location.
