THE company responsible for an “eyesore” railway bridge in Henley is refusing to pay for it to be refurbished.
Network Rail says it does not have the money for “cosmetic” work like the maintenance of the cast iron bridge in Mill Lane over the Henley branch line.
The Henley Society, a conservation group, has been in talks with the firm since the end of last year.
It says the bridge is a priority for its Treasures and Eyesores campaign, in which members are asked to identify areas of the town that need special attention.
