An update from our colleagues in West Chesterton:
If you are one of the hundreds of cyclists crossing the footbridge over the Cam at Fort St George every day you may have noticed it has suddenly become silent. Cllr Damien Tunnacliffe thought it was time the clatter, clatter of the loose metal plates needed something done and he managed to persuade the County highways department to fix rivets instead of the broken or inadequate screws.
One lady immediately said, “Oh!, how nice it is crossing the bridge now,” while another was less pleased: “But I liked the clatter. It told me someone was coming up behind me.”
Which just shows that a councillor can never, ever please everybody!
