Rejected petition Keep Barmouth bridge open to walkers

Gwynedd council want to close Barmouth bridge to walkers to help cut costs as they say they have to pay Network Rail £30,000 a year so walkers can cross. This would be a significant blow to walkers who use the Mawddach trail and businesses in Barmouth
