Respondent: Mr Dennis Michael Crips
Representation Summary:
Banbury Road bridge designed to support its own weight and that of contemporary traffic. Strong enough to carry today's loads so taken for granted. Also used by overweight vehicles.
Concern recently over working life of masonry arch bridges. Vital north-south link and tourist attraction, part of local heritage.
Essential to obtain independent professional opinion on fatigue life and working life with recommendations for future conservation.
