The idea of a new swing bridge for walkers and cyclists spanning the entrance to Deptford Creek has just been given planning permission.
Although it appeared in the original plans for New Capital Quay its construction now seems to rely on additional storeys being added to the already very high blocks of flats.
This new route would save having to walk up the Creek past Waitrose and across the main road’s swing bridge but those operating ships may not be so keen on the additional barrier.
