I say that to be fair to Councillor Anglim. I went down to Ardfinnan. An external review took place. The NTA should approve this separate proposal, given that the independent review said this was the best way to go. I have spoken with the Minister in respect of this as well. I believe there has to be a balance and a proper response from national agencies as well. This is very unsafe. It is unacceptably unsafe for school children and young people. Sometimes, we have to do things outside of the box. The external review came forward with a separate bridge proposal under the active travel fund. I see nothing wrong with it and the authorities should proceed with it.
