Gates Lane has been suddenly unexpectedly closed, with no consultation, usage monitoring or warning. We are concerned that it is not to be repaired but decommissioned. This bridge is not only useful but essential in times of emergency. Please contact Jill Balser (MLA for Digby email
hello@digbyannapolis.ca) to add your voice to ours, if this is a concern to you.
Events for this week and new events are listed below. Event posters are on our website (www. theweymouthbridge.com) as well as in photo albums on our facebook page. Please share this and ask others to subscribe.
