IRKED: Coun Will Fielding at the bridge, which has already been targeted by vandals.

A NEW bridge which was targeted by vandals has been cleared up - but a councillor has warned it will be locked in a ‘never-ending war’ thanks to yobs’ behaviour.
Coun Will Fielding, who represents the Dodworth ward, spoke out about the state of the £2m bridge near Penny Pie Park.
Broken glass was strewn across the bridge’s deck and graffiti was daubed on the structure.
“They cleaned the glass up so I’m very grateful for that - I’m just a bit disappointed it took so long.
“I’ve had lots of complaints from residents about it, quite frankly.
“It’s a never-ending war but at least it’s painted over.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
