Brompton bridge WITH regard to the article on page 2 of last week’s Darlington and Stockton Times “Search for funding to replace village bridge” I would like to take this opportunity to update residents of Brompton and users of the village green at Water End, Brompton about the footway bridge closure. A flood risk assessment is currently taking place and the town council will shortly be submitting a planning application for a new bridge. Residents will be consulted on the new bridge through to the normal planning process. The new bridge however will be different in appearance from the existing bridge due to health and safety and other modern requirements but will be sympathetic to the surroundings.
