| 53 | Kirsten Day | My family and I have walked in this area for many years and have been over this bridge many times. It is beautiful, functional and makes perfect sense in its surroundings. Please, please do not remove this lovely and important part of our local heritage. |
| 54 | Nigel | Realy I am not sure that they would like to hear my comments as the truth hurts...
Grow some balls |

| 58 | Mick Knowles | The Dartmoor National Joke - With guys like this looking after our heritage we need all the help we can get. Our village, Lustleigh, is resembling suburbia already so why not roll out the national Park's great celebration of the mediocre. |
| 59 | Anonymous | I have extended family members in the area and have walked there and admired the unspoilt environment. |

| 72 | wesley bryant | This bridge needs to be saved it is part of history to do with lustleigh i have walked over this bridge many a time with no problems .It is silly to close it on health and saftey reasons because getting to the bridge in the first place is more risky than crossing the bridge. |
| 73 | vicki grant | this is part of lustleigh history |
| 74 | Phil Royal | I use this bridge regularly. Surely a sign saying use this at your own risk or use the new bridge would solve the problem. Comments that the paths that lead to the bridge are equally tricky or worse are correct. |
| 75 | Polly Mason | Health and safety gone mad - will all the steep and rough paths be tarmaced over next? Where will it end? |

| 78 | phil martin | I heard the for & against reasons On Radio 4 last night ( 5/5)& the anti bridge spokesman from his arguments has never been near the bridge. |
| 79 | John McCarthy | bridges are meant to be crossed - fences to climb |

| 81 | Alan Dawes | It is decades since I last visited the area but I am shocked that a National Park Authority should be so indifferent to its heritage. Health & Safety is taken to idiotic extremes these days. We should be allowed to judge risk for ourselves without interfering desk jockeys getting involved! |

| 87 | Ben Huggins | Whilst we are at it, what is that ugly great stack of curbstones doing on the roundabout in Bovey Sharron (sorry - Tracey)? |

| 89 | Martin Purkiss | SAVE THE OLD CLAM BRIDGE!

| 90 | Edith Seyffarth | Why is it impossible to leave the old bridge as it is and add simply a sign saying that walkers use it at their own risk? That is what would normally happen in Germany. |
| 91 | Rupert Harwood | The attempt by the NPA to prevent further use of the Clam bridge is an absolute disgrace both in its purpose and physical implementation. I have seen better workmanship from a first year apprentice. |
| 92 | Richard Purkiss | The fact that the DNPA still dares to list the "conservation of cultural heritage" among its objectives after what has been done to the clam bridge, beggars belief. Not only has an historic river crossing been closed, but the spot has been ruined by a structure which they hadn’t the decency to place 100 yards downstream.
According to the Authority's own professed principles, a more spineless and hypocritical action can hardly be imagined. By caving in to spectral lawsuits and compensation claims the DNPA is making itself an agent in the wanton destruction of our heritage for fear of legal parasites.
Why not go all the way? Put railings on the tors (for one may fall). Drain the mires (for you might lose a boot). Dismantle the clappers (for stones can be slippery). Make all safe and sound for carping fools whose presence the moor can well dispense with. And when all is said and done, rebrand it as a country park. Then perhaps, someone will care to press charges of cultural vandalism. |
| 93 | Jonny Pickett | They will be wanting to tarmac the moor next in case someone slips and hurts themselves...
LEAVE THE BRIDGE BE.. |

| 97 | Gary Waidson | You can't remove risk completely from life so please stop acting like you can. |
| 98 | James Durston | This is just another example of a nanny state gone mad!
I tripped recently on an uneven curb stone perhaps we should close Devons pavements as well. |

| 100 | Tod Guest | The DNPA et al need to see beyond the creep of meaningless health and safety bureaucracy and let people take responsibility for themselves. By all means put up a sign warning that the bridge is a bit sipppery but the nonsense of the bridge blockage is a bit nanny-state. |
