Re-Open Bailey Bridge Now!!
Without the bridge many friendships, intergenerational and otherwise, between people whose common ground is this conjoined green space are fractured. Putting a stop to much face-to-face interactions and cross generation activity that makes our community thrive.
Bailey bridge gives users of electric mobility chairs irreplaceable unique access to both the waterpark and the woods. There is no other disability access other than to take a circuitous route along Darley avenue, then sit exhaust high on the parkway to cross from one side of the Mersey to another. Local dog walkers that need to escape the annual summer festival vibe in the water park are reduced to a similar fate.
Perversely the now closed Bailey Bridge forms part of Manchester Council’s much lauded cycle route. This part of the route has always been well used by commuters traversing to and from Northenden/ Wythenshawe to Chorlton/Didsbury. Manchester council is spending £millions on polluted ill-conceived road cycle routes that run thorough Chorlton. Whilst the traditional routes that run parallel through the park, along and across the Mersey are in disrepair and closed through a combination of the council’s poor prioritisation, neglect, and negligence.
GIVE US BACK OUR BRIDGE NOW!!!
