Thank you Marsha for your topic, We touched on this subject a number of years ago before computers and the web.A number of years ago the second bridge ( The Sheffield side ) was under repair due to weakness of the supports and it was under repair for a couple of years at least, if you can remember the traffic lights were there for what seemed years. In the event of this, the Derbyshire council side had the perfect opportunity to do the pedestrian footbridge they were contacted to put plans into practice but sadly they did'nt. There was also supposed to be preliminary plans for a parrallel  Steel or Iron footbridge which would have came out just past White Waters on the right hand side but this would have entailed working in conjunction with Sheffield council and as we know first hand councils don't work together so that was probably shelved. As to Francis's comments  these are correct but we don't feel they will be implemented very soon. They may wait until it is to expensive to implement, instead of using the money immediately to get the most out of the funding. Thank you for your topic we can  now ask the council what is happening if anything
