On Thursday, approval was granted once again for the construction of a new £10 million bridge spanning the river Thames, intended for cyclists and pedestrians. It is pointed out that despite the objections that have been raised preliminary work for the bridge has already begun.
Initially, the permission was granted by the Oxford City Council last month. The Oxpens River Bridge project faced thorough examination from 16 councilors who called for a review of the decision. Their concerns were raised by campaigners who marked the potential adverse effects on Grandpont Nature Park.
However, at the second meeting on Thursday, the council's planning committee restated its approval of the project, emphasizing that the bridge is significant and a crucial connection between Oxpens and Osney Mead. Both areas under the collaboration of Oxford City Council and Nuffield College, are considered for extensive development, including 300 new residences, while they are anticipating substantial economic benefits such as the creation of up to 3,000 jobs.
