Staveley Bridge Repairs Taking Too Long

The video discusses the impact of Storm Desmond on Cumbria, particularly the destruction of roads and bridges, including the Gowan Bridge in Staveley. The bridge's closure has severely affected local businesses, reducing trade by 20%. The community is frustrated with the slow response from Cumbria County Council, which has outsourced the project to consultants. The council aims to complete the bridge by September 2017 but is exploring options to expedite the process. Meanwhile, locals are considering building a bridge themselves due to the prolonged disruption.
