Bronagh English

Start with the public record

What Bronagh faced

Bronagh is remembered here first as a much-loved daughter, sister and friend. The deeper account keeps the memorial separate from the public record: the raised roadside verge, drainage questions, warning record and damaged bridge wall.

It begins with the family’s account and dated photographs, then lets readers read the original records and their limits for themselves.

• What Bronagh facedThe deeper evidence-led account, in six dated parts.
• Read the documentsCouncil and public records, with their source notes and limits.
• Read the fuller storyThe existing deeper narrative and its source notes.
• Read the coveragePublished reporting and interviews already on the record.

Support the public record: read it, share it, and keep the sources with the claim. Anyone with confidential information about the road or bridge can use the family’s information page.

The family’s solicitors are pursuing questions arising from the record. This page does not make a finding of causation or liability.

The open channel beside the road

Two family-supplied views show the roadside channel and road edge at the bend. No barrier is visible between the channel and the road in the photographed section.

Capture date not confirmed. “Left” describes these views, not Bronagh’s direction of travel.

Was this a permanent drain or an excavation still in progress? What protection, signs and inspections were specified? Could water or erosion have affected the road edge?

These are questions for the works records and an engineering assessment, not findings from photographs.
