Following my continuous communication with Derby City Council regarding Darley Abbey Bridge, I am pleased that they have received the reports from the extended assessment of the bridge and they are further assessing the possibility of a temporary solution.
I understand that the Council's Emergency Planning Team will be meeting with emergency services and The Environment Agency next week and I look forward to hearing updates from any discussions on any progress made.
I am continuing to engage with the Council, businesses and residents on the matter and as well as liaising with Government Ministers, I have also reached out to The Lottery Heritage Fund for a meeting.
