Commenting on the results of the Labour Party leadership poll, Serena Tierney said:
Although the old reinforced concrete footbridge on the footpath joining Stones Road to Blenheim Road and Miles Road has now successfully been removed, the extra costs of the delays to this work have depleted the budget to the extent that some of the further work needed to re-open the "tunnel" or underpass will have to be left until the next financial year. This means that instead of opening later this year, the new route will not be available until next summer.
