Residents of Godalming have contacted me to ask what is happening to the Boarden Bridge, the closed wooden footbridge over the River Wey near the parish church of St Peter and St Paul.
This is a time when County Council funds are being heavily cut and at times it has seemed that to restore this bridge would be impossible. However, I am pleased to report that, by working with the Surrey Countryside Team and with Godalming Town Council, we are closer to the time when this historic footbridge will be restored and, once again, open for townspeople to enjoy.
Details are being finalised and I hope soon to be able to publicise when restoration works will start.
