question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, for what reason the building of a footpath over the railway bridge in Crockenhill, reference SD341, has been delayed; and what the timetable is for Network Rail to complete that work.
tabling member constituency	Sevenoaks
tabling member printed	Sir Michael Fallon
uin	195020
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2018 answer text <p>The Department for Transport does not hold this detailed information. However, I understand from Network Rail (NR) that the Crockenhill footbridge was inspected and found to be in a dangerous and unsafe condition and has been closed since September 2017. NR has put together a plan to see this old bridge removed and a new one installed by the end of this financial year. However this schedule is dependent on agreement of third parties whose co-operation is required to carry out both the removal of the old bridge and the installation of the new one. Providing NR can resolve these matters successfully, they expect to be able to confirm the timescales for the replacement of the bridge before the end of 2018.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 03/12/2018 15:11:10 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
