Prevent the Demolition of Dronfield's Historic Wooden Footbridge

Prevent the Demolition of Dronfield's Historic Wooden Footbridge

The Issue

The beloved wooden footbridge connecting Chesterfield Road to Lea Road in Dronfield is under threat. The local council has plans to demolish it, citing the high cost of repairs as their primary reason. This footbridge is an essential part of Dronfield's history and character - it’s a part of the town's cultural heritage and has stood the test of time. Destroying it would be robbing the town of a symbol of its past and a useful path for pedestrians. We are appealing to the council to reconsider this move, taking into account the sentimental value and importance of the footbridge to our community. Conserving our town's heritage should take precedence over the cost of repairs. Let’s urge the Dronfield Council to find a more sustainable solution that preserves our town's historical landmarks. Sign this petition and join us in standing up for Dronfield's historical heritage.
