flag A £16M Evesham footbridge project continues despite cost overruns and legal disputes, bound by existing financial and legal commitments.

flag A £16 million footbridge project in Evesham, originally budgeted at £4.26 million, is moving forward despite legal and financial disputes. flag Council officials say they are bound by agreements, including £3.7 million in developer funding and £3 million spent on planning, making cancellation risky due to potential clawbacks and reputational damage. flag Tory councillor Adam Kent argues no construction contract exists, so the project could be halted, but cabinet members insist legal and financial obligations require progress. flag The bridge remains controversial, with concerns over cost and value, though funding is tied to walking and cycling initiatives, meaning cancellation wouldn’t save money.
