Ilkley suspension bridge closed again this weekend

The police and council have announced plans to close the Denton Road suspension bridge in Ilkley again this weekend to try to tackle anti-social behaviour.

With good weather forecast, the Riverside is expected to attract high visitor numbers, so Bradford Council together with West Yorkshire Police say the swing bridge will be temporarily closed from today (Friday 7th August) through until Sunday 9th August.

A Bradford Council spokesperson said: "Visitors are welcome to enjoy the area but we do ask that they act responsibly, observe requirements around social distancing and behave considerately by disposing of their litter correctly. Large volume bins are positioned throughout the park at most entry/exit points.

We thank local residents for their patience and understanding as we seek to maintain a safe environment and encourage the respectful use of the area."
