City of York Council has announced that it is going to start work on improving access to Millennium Bridge, which is often cut off when the River Ouse rises.
As The Press reported in December, deputy leader of the council, Cllr Pete Kilbane, said that the council was going to "get on with fixing" the issue of access to the bridge during floods.
It came after former transport boss, Andy D'Agorne, said: "It's not exactly a complicated project, but it urgently needs completing."
Cllr Kilbane also said that plans to improve accessibility had "been talked about for around seven years".
