YP Comment: Tadcaster bridges the divide
MORE than a year after Tadcaster's river bridge was washed away in the Yorkshire floods, it was heartening that Theresa May acknowledged the forbearance and resilience of local residents at Prime Minister's Questions ahead of a new crossing being opened imminently.
Despite the inconvenience of long diversions in order to cross the Wharfe to get from one side of the town to the other, their patience and good humour has been a credit to Tadcaster – further evidence that adversity invariably brings out the best in people. When the bridge reopens, there’s no excuse for visitors not reacquainting themselves with this market town and supporting its shops and businesses.
