The long-awaited £75,000 removal of two of Annan’s iconic bridges is finally to get under way.
Flash floods at the end of October saw the force of the water in the River Annan sweep away 125 years of history by destroying the Jubilee and Cuthbertson Bridges in a matter of seconds.
Since then the council has been seeking permission from nearby landowners to carry out the removal of the tangled wreckage from the water.
