Keep Barmouth bridge open to walkers

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

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

Why it was rejected
