A new bridge is to be built over the River Irwell to replace one destroyed by floods almost seven years ago.

The bridge, at Milltown Street in Radcliffe, will be used by cyclists and pedestrians after planning permission was granted within the past week.

The original bridge was badly damaged by high water levels in the River Irwell on Boxing Day back in 2015.

It was not considered practicable to repair the existing bridge.
