Bridge crossing the River Witham on PROW Clyp/3/1
Reported via desktop in the Bridge category anonymously at 11:08, Friday 8 August 2025
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2852028.
The bridge has had approx. 50% of its planks removed. This, speaking to a landowner on the evening of 7th August was done deliberately by others. I saw some of the planks in the river below. Unsure of how long it's been like this for.

This matter is most urgent as it is a risk to life should children or adults try to walk across. People have been seen trying to cross, and its a favorite place for children to play. Extremely dangerous, urgent attention needed. I've tried to call Lincolnshire highways, I've been on hold 40 minutes. Completely malicious damage, not the first time its happened.
