New bridge for St Johns glen?

A glen in St Johns could get a new bridge, if a government department's plans are approved.

The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture has applied for permission to replace an existing bridge at its headquarters in Slieau Whallian.

In its application, the department says the current pedestrian bridge is in a poor state of repair.

It wants to replace it with a structure that could carry vehicles, allowing easier maintenance of the nearby parkland.
