A New Footbridge for Newtown, Cinderford
At the bottom of Newtown, there is a small footbridge crossing the overflow from the brook, but a little further around to the right is another footbridge which crosses the main brook, eventually making its way towards the Steam Mills lakes.
Unfortunately, the old bridge had become rotten and unsafe, with several boards missing and the structure showing significant signs of deterioration.
We’re therefore delighted to see the new footbridge now installed, providing a much safer and more accessible crossing for residents and visitors using this route.
A big thank you to Forest of Dean District Council for installing the replacement bridge and helping to maintain our local walking routes.
It’s fantastic to see this improvement making a real difference to the community
