I have followed the problems at the Eagle and Child at Staveley with the closure of the bridge.
I accept the bridge is unsafe. However, no one has mentioned a simple solution - a diversion which should be available.
There is (or has been available) the road in the centre of the village towards the railway station. You turn left by the old pub and keep left and you come out outside the the Eagle and Child.
Has this road been declared out of bounds, or is secret to residents only?
