Motion by Councillor Arthur – Burnside Bridge

“Committee:

1. Notes that Stenhouse Mill Lane Footbridge (“Burnside Bridge”) provides access to a right of way which is crucial for pedestrians moving between the communities of Longstone and Stenhouse.

2. Notes that access to this right of way has been blocked since July 1st, 2019, after flooding caused damage to adjacent buildings, and possibly the bridge.

3. Notes that while the site has now been secured, the bridge remains closed after concerns were raised regarding its structural integrity.

4. Requests that Officers report via business bulletin to the Transport & Environment Committee within two cycles confirming the ownership of the bridge and what avenues are available to reopen this important pedestrian route.”
