It's great to see this scheme getting underway in Alnwick.
All being well, it will see function restored to two fabulous, skewed masonry arch bridges which were formerly threatened with emergency infilling by National Highways.
Keep your fingers crossed!

The statutory consultee responses to the Clifton Hall Tunnel/Station Road bridge infill proposals suggest that the planning permission process is working effectively.
That's why National Highways misuse of emergency permitted development rights - avoiding such scrutiny - had to end.

A more local view on the transfer of #BarcombeBridge into the sympathetic ownership of East Sussex Highways.
Why does this public body recognise the structure as a community asset whilst National Highways viewed it as a liability to get rid of?
Simple answer: culture.

A rare archive view of the fabulous skewed masonry arch bridge carrying Rudgate over the former Church Fenton-Harrogate railway, now the focus of National Highways' retrospective planning application.
The scene today is something of a contrast.
We must value our historical assets.

Great to see East Sussex Highways engaging positively with the local community over #BarcombeBridge . In developing a repair scheme, the Council intends to maintain the structure's 'historic aesthetics' AND current 20t weight limit.

Great piece on #RudgateBridge from Construction Index, examining National Highways' attempt to secure retrospective planning application for its unnecessary 'emergency' infilling scheme.
Repairs to a nearby fence were needed.

Great news for the local community that #BarcombeBridge is going to be sympathetically repaired, any residual threat of National Highways' £246K emergency infill scheme having finally been lifted.
And the weight limit will remain at 20 tonnes too.

We're really pleased to see BBC Sussex covering the #BarcombeBridge ownership transfer so extensively - on TV, on radio and online.
Anyone would think people are interested in our great railway heritage!
