Poffit Lane Bridge
One of the bridges at the bottom of Poffit Lane was replaced a few years ago by the Public Rights of Way (PROW) team at Devon County Council. The other bridge is now needing replacement and PROW are hoping to replace the bridge before the winter. They have made a bid for money for the work and, once that is approved, they will be able to start the procurement process. However, there are currently delays in the procurement process so it is not possible at present to give a more accurate date for when the work will be done.
