A SUGGESTION that Upton Bridge should be painted has been rejected because of the cost. Worcestershire County Council says the job would cost about £100,000, making it uneconomic at this time. However, repairs to the bridge are due to take place in a few years, at an estimated cost of £200,000. The bridge was last painted in the 1980s.
