Design of new Alma Bridge: "While some decribed it as 'hideous' and 'ugly', others said it was 'impressive' and the town was 'very lucky' to have secured funding."

The District Council's proposals for the replacement for Alma Bridge have caused quite a bit of excitement:

Futures Forum: Design of new Alma Bridge released >>> "the proposal isn’t the prettiest footbridge but the engineer is literally up against a hard place, ie a steep sided cliff face"

Futures Forum: "The Ham needs something rather more special: the proposed new Alma Bridge is functional but undistinctive"

Futures Forum: The 'monstrous inappropriateness' of the new Alma Bridge design >>> 'The position cries out for delicate curves not flint like hard slabs.'
