00:00Farmers and villagers have staged a rolling tractor convoy through three Solihull villages
00:06this week in protest over the possible closure of a historic bridge. Safety concerns were raised
00:11last year about Boston Bridge, which dates back to the 19th century and crosses the River Blythe.
00:19Solihull Council is now considering whether to spend £2 million on a replacement or restrict
00:24the existing bridge to pedestrians and cyclists. Protesters say closure would increase journey
00:30times and traffic in neighbouring villages. The local MP has raised concerns about the
00:35consultation process. The council says no decision has been made and discussions are ongoing and talks continue.
