Robin, it was decided not to re-open the cobweb bridge until the development work at Blonk St was complete, so a through route would br available that would attract a decent footfall, thus deterring thieves and other anti-social types. The steel guard cables have actually been stolen twice and the plan now is to replace them with something plastic that still looks good but has no value for thieves. We were promised opening by Autumn 08 but the leaves are rapidly falling….

It would pass over Kelham Weir at an angle, joining the Island to Ball Street, more or less perpendicular to Ball Street.

We were looking at this last weekend, trying to imagine it, but that bit of Kelham Island isn’t even accessible at the moment, big security gates block it off. I’m not sure if this is still a hangover from the floods, it all looks rather permanent.

Do you know if there are any plans to fix the spiderweb bridge after it had its safety railings nicked?
