Work has at last started to repair the Aylesford Bridge near Marton seriously damaged by a HGV in October. Local Shropshire Councillor, Heather Kidd explained "I was called early one morning by a resident who said that a Spar lorry had hit the bridge demolishing much of the parapet on one side. Although a small bridge its located on a main road across my Division and the subsequent road restrictions have cased a fair amount of disruption. "The good news is that Shropshire Council's Bridge Team have acted quickly and the bridge is being repaired as we speak without the need to close the road. The council have tracked down the lorry's owners who have accepted responsibility so the cost will not have to fall on the council taxpayer." Work should be completed by 21st December 2012.
