Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will ask the Canal and River Trust to publish a full repair programme for Brewood Bridge, including (a) the start date for works, and (b) the expected reopening date.

The Canal and River Trust is independent of government and responsible for operations on its waterway network. We understand that the Trust is currently working with Staffordshire County Council on design approvals for the bridge repairs and will announce relevant information about the repair programme once that is ready.
