Juan McGuinness said he thinks the 'end game' is to make it pedestrian bridge
A Ramsey Commissioner claims there's been a lack of positive information about the town's swing bridge since it was shut for maintenance.
Juan McGuinness said during a Q&A session on Facebook, it can feel like Ramsey is 'last' to receive funding or is given a 'second class budget'.
The Victorian swing bridge has been closed for seven months - initially it was due to a hole in the road surface however other areas of 'concern' were found during inspections and the Department of Infrastructure has not given a timescale for its reopening.
It became a registered building in March last year which protects it against alteration or demolition.
Mr McGuinness believes the 'end game' is to make it a pedestrian only bridge:
