Traders in west Stirlingshire have expressed anger over the length of time being taken to repair a crumbling bridge as the busy summer tourist season approaches and say they have been left feeling deserted.
Businesses affected by the closure of the Catter Burn Bridge – on the A809 road through Croftamie – say that the work to repair the damaged structure should have been a top priority for Stirling Council after the route was shut nine months ago - in September last - year when a section of wall and pavement collapsed.
The bridge closure meant the route was shut from the B834 to the A811.
