    2. Elected Member:

      1. MB had a meeting with officers re Telford bridge. Contractors couldn’t
        guarantee the structure would sustain the work and risk was too great. No

        going to consult with BCC on this issue and let them know what work will be
        done.

        Community council conversation was approved at last council meeting in
