Clapper Bridge Damage - 12th July 2015

If you are local, you will probably have seen by now the 'Road Closed' signs on routes leading to Clapper Bridge. These are necessary because the bridge was badly damaged by a large lorry on Monday 6th July. The police are trying to identify the driver of the lorry who did not stop to report the damage.

Cormac has posted details and photographs of the damage on Facebook (see Bridge Damage) requesting information if anyone can help with regards to the incident.
