A pub owner has warned closing the footbridge connecting Southwold and Walberswick in the summer would be devastating to his business in its post-lockdown recovery.
The Bailey bridge connecting the two coastal resorts over the River Blyth is in need of repairs, which are set to be completed at some point this year.
The structure was temporarily closed in 2018 after a report found severe corrosion in its support beams.
It is frequently used by Southwold and Walberswick residents and tourists as it is the quickest route by foot between the two resorts without using the ferry service.
