REGARDING comments in the Citizen about the Millennium Bridge. Whitby and Bird, who are the bridge designers and builders, are specialists in this work and have spent considerable time in Lancaster on this project.
There is ongoing interest in the bridge from those interested in how it will fit into a historic city. There will no doubt be those who think it is exciting and those who disagree. Whatever their views may be, I can tell you categorically that every parent who carries a push chair up the steps of the present bridge and every cyclist who risks life and limb on the existing road cannot wait for the bridge to be built.
