Hi Ruth; agree Church Walk Bridge feels more open and safe than Brook Lane/Rd, and it is pretty there in the daytime and early evening, but there is still a lot of litter, grafitti, and loitering around it, often by dodgy dealing adults. It is not at all pleasant at night, particularly as it is not lit, so you cannot see who is loitering there. Many people I know walk the long way round it to avoid using it in the evenings if they are on their own. Could the council look at lighting in particular, but possibly the police safer communities group look at putting a camera near the bridge again, to deter the anti-social behaviour...it worked a treat last time.
