SIR – Do we need yet another foot bridge in Worcester?

Please tell me this is joke. Absolute disgraceful waste of money!

We reported earlier this week that the planned foot and cycle bridge would connect St John’s via Bromwich Road and Slingpool Walk and the city centre via Severn Street next to Diglis Hotel.

The single span structure will lead onto an additional route above the highest flood level to connect St John's and the city centre if the river bursts its banks.

Designed for walker and cyclists, the bridge will bring locals and tourists straight into the city’s Cultural Quarter – home of Worcester Cathedral, the Museum of Royal Worcester, Henry Sandon Hall and The Commandery.

Fundraising for the £4 million Chapter Meadows Bridge project has already started with a hope it will be backed as part of the Government’s MyTown fund.
