opinion, by the disruption and upheavel being caused by the works being carried out by Network Rail at ‘The Station Bridge’, I would like to commend Shotts Community Council and also councillor Charlie Cefferty for instigating the work now being carried out at the other bridge in Shotts.
‘The Springhill Bridge’ was once the main artery ferrying traffic to Fauldhouse, Whitburn, Bathgate and the not-so-far-east.
Since Springhill Road was extended to meet up with Stane Road, ‘The Bridge’ has been blocked off to road traffic and has become overgrown with shurbs, weeds and treeds badly in need of trimming.
It is an eyesore, not safe to walk and very intimidating, especially at night.
I personally know of a few incidents where people have been accosted at night and even attacked and injured.
Following meetings arranged by councillor Cefferty with several council departments including Roads, Lighting and Planning, talks are going with regards to the long-term refurbishment of ‘The Bridge’ not only to make it safer but to make it more appealing and an attractive walkway.
Work has already commenced, cutting back the weeds, shrubs and overhanging trees. Eddie Buggy, Belmont Drive, Springhill, Shotts
