What the petition asks

Save the Thames Path – Temple Bridge

concern about the recent closure of Temple Bridge, a vital link on the Thames path between Marlow and Henley-on-Thames. As the bridge is in need of repair and has been closed due to safety concerns,

it will be important to ensure that solutions are found as soon as possible to repair or replace it. Currently, walkers of the Thames Path have to follow a long diversion away from the river and along a high-risk route that involves walking on roads without the protection of pavements. Help us to explore ideas to find a speedy solution for all walkers of the Thames Path and help the EA appreciate our concern about the loss of this amenity
