Growing Concerns Over Huge Build Up Floating Timber Blocking The Old Bridge

[Hereford Voice]

Why have the Environment Agency not removed this massive build up of trees and branches caused from the recent heavy rain at the Old Bridge in Hereford?

This timber which has been carried along the river Wye has completely blocked the centre arch of the Old Bridge and must be placing massive pressure on the structure.

The fencing which runs along the footpath has not been repaired or replaced since storm Dennis back in February 2020, that's almost 3 years ago!!

It appeared that some work had began back in July 2022 when the debris was cleared and temporary fencing was secured, as reported in our topic here https://bit.ly/RiverFenceHfd however, nothing has happened since.
