Bridges – policy & prioritisation

The Elsick (Burnside) Bridge between Newtonhill and Cammachmore has been demolished as it was unsafe and liable to collapse into the burn. There was no possibility of repair – it was discovered that no proper foundations existed.

As of 7th February 2024, Burnside has been moved from position 28 to position 21 on the list. I successfully argued that the bridge provided sole access to a property, therefore there was no diversion possible, making it the top ranked bridge compared to others on the same prioritisation score. Unfortunately this still isn’t high enough to get funding, given the level of capital grant the council has this year.

Below is the bridge prioritisation procedure, agreed in 2021. It details how the prioritisation score is calculated.
