The bridge running over the old railway line behind Blackbridge and The Crypt School has suffered some damage to the brickwork, and some graffiti.
I’ve reported this to Gloucestershire County Council, who own the asset and are responsible for its upkeep.
I’m hopeful that, once fixed, we can get the graffiti removed and care for this area more.
I’ve already had positive responses from partners like The Crypt School and Blackbridge Charitable Community Benefit Society, and will be arranging some community action events here.
This area in one far corner of the ward has been unloved and we could do some more to make it attractive for both people and wildlife, such as planting some more vegetation to attract animals and insects.
If you see any more damage to brickwork or graffiti in our area please let me know:
