Nancy Drew Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 So last week I noticed that 2 planks had been removed from the little bridge at the bottom of the Delta Park section of the Spruit..This morning the bridge is in tatters and the pool of blood on the broken wood indicates that some poor mtber came off second best I hope that whoever it was is ok. I imagine that if we wait for city parks (or whoever is responsible for the maintenance) we're gonna wait a long time for someone to fix it.. I don't have the tools or the know how on how to fix a bridge or I would do it myself... so here's the deal: I will sponsor the materials to have it fixed if one of you kind hubbers can sponsor a bit of your time and elbow grease... how about it?
hagar Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Good on you nancy just a pity i am a bit far from the spuit but i am sure one of the able bodies in gauteng will help !!!!

Speed Devil Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Well who else would have reason to vandalise public property and endanger the lives of innocent law abiding people?
slowpoke Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 it looks more like it's rotted away. if it's the one i think it is, then it's more than 2 planks... i'd say in the region of 6 or 7 in total to get that safe... i walked it but still held my breath. good on both of you nancy and dd for getting it sorted.

Danger Dassie Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Well who else would have reason to vandalise public property and endanger the lives of innocent law abiding people? Kids who think they're being funny and need a fat PK. Although the bridge needs serious work as a whole, the missing planks have definately been ripped up. Doesn't look like it was for the wood as there are plenty loose pieces left as well as large splinters, seems more like blatant vandalism. My business partner and I shall get out there tomorrow afternoon with the materials and patch it up as well as notifying City Parks.As mentioned the bridge as a whole needs to be repaired properly, especially the side rail and also the wood really should treated at least once a year. Many thanks to Nancy Drew for supplying the materials, keep the receipts, maybe City Parks shall reimburse you.
