Footbridge over Railway Closed

The footbridge connecting Nunnappleton Way with Pollards Oak Road has been closed off by Surrey County Councill. Their statement (available in the depths of their website states that this is : due to 'the likelihood of danger to the public and will be in operation for a period of six months from 11 August 2008 or until completion of the works, if earlier and while the relevant notices are displayed. That period can be extended by the Secretary of State for Transport if required.

The prohibition described above will only be operative while the County Council, or an authorised person acting on its behalf, displays signs prohibiting the said vehicular movements.'

Unfortunately Surrey County Concil have not publicised this locally but I can confirm it has now been blocked off. I hope that this will be shut for as short a period as possible.

Update: I have now viewed the footbridge from the Nunappleton road side and there is a sign stating that the path will be closed until the 28th.
