'We have to travel extra 7 miles after council failed to fix a broken bridge'
RESIDENTS are furious at having to travel an extra seven miles because the council has failed to repair a broken bridge.
Businesses are also suffering and villagers are feeling isolated almost two years on from it being destroyed in floods.The bridge was destroyed in January 2021The grade-two listed bridge was used by 1,600 vehicles a day and was cherished by locals in Trefnant and Tremeirchion,But it was washed away by Storm Christoph in January 2021. The council has previously vowed to repair it but has been accused of not doing anything to sort it.
Residents are now staging a protest this weekend. Organiser Stuart Irving said the lack of bridge has separated the two communities and accused council officials of a "failure to do anything substantial in terms of replacing it".
