A BRIDGE carrying a popular footpath over the River Tame in Greenfield has re-opened.
The Independent reported in our May edition that Oldham Council was due to repair the damage caused by vandals over the Easter weekend earlier this year.
Fears of a longer closure have now been removed after local authority staff this week carried out impressive refurbishment of the timber structure.
The anti-social behaviour resulted in bridge decking being ripped up and thrown into the water.
The footpath follows a route from the Royal George Mill, over the river, past Saddleworth cricket, tennis and bowling club and on towards Manchester Road.
