This is what you have been writing to us about this week.

After spending an eye watering £110,000 on width restrictions just over a year ago, the Tory Bucks Council, Highways (Transport for Buckinghamshire; TfB), discovered that the bollards in place on Marlow Bridge were not stopping overweight vehicles from crossing.

You highlight in your article the new design of bollards put in place.

We do not yet know how much this new design has cost the council taxpayer but already overweight vehicles have been photographed crossing the bridge.

Indeed, one such vehicle is the 3.5T Luton van which is narrower at wheel height than the bollards (the weight limit on the bridge is 3T).

Simple tests before installing the bollards would have clarified the situation and led to an effective solution. Why weren’t such tests carried out?

Also, many residents have reported having great difficulty getting through the gap between the bollards with an ordinary car.

Indeed, some have incurred scratches to their cars while trying to navigate the new bollards.

This is totally unsatisfactory and has been a lamentable failure inflicted on us by the Tory Buckinghamshire Council.

The Councillors responsible must apologise and stop this massive waste of public funds on poorly designed traffic control.

Buckinghamshire Council and Transport for Bucks should furnish us with a system that actually works for residents and ensures the wonderful Marlow suspension bridge remains unharmed by overweight vehicles.
