Unfortunately, as you may have noticed, the fields are waterlogged and it is still too wet for the replacement bridge to be installed.

Please do not use the bridge and do not give up hope that it might stop raining at some time.

River Chater footpath bridge replacement

The replacement foot bridge over the River Chater on the footpath from the Church to Glebe Road is ready to be installed. Heavy equipment is required to get it into place and unfortunately with the recent storms the ground is too wet.

Rutland County Council has contacted that the contracter hopes to be able to install the bridge in about three weeks. However this is dependent on the ground being able to take the equipment and the agreement of the landowners.

Let’s hope for a dry(ish) spell!
