An Eastbourne resident has called for a bridge to be replaced - saying it is ‘fragile and falling apart’.

On Monday, November 21, Imogen Sands voiced her concerns about the bridge in Princes Park by Channel View Road.

She said: “The bridge in Princes Park must be replaced. It’s fragile and falling apart. Elderly people walk around the park a lot and they fall on this, which could seriously injure them as well as young children.”

Ms Sands added: "I wanted to make people aware of the bridge as I go on walks with my grandmother and I know a fall could be very dangerous or fatal to her and others."

An Eastbourne Borough Council spokesperson said: “Our officers have been regularly inspecting the bridge and will continue to do so. The bridge is old but remains is an acceptable condition for use.”
