Fifteen-year-old schoolgirl Karen Tanton looks at one of Morda bridge's latest scars, where a lorry had plunged through the wall, on February 25, 1974. Karen, of Trefonen Road in the village, had begun a petition calling for the bridge to be made safer for pedestrians and motorists. "Morda bridge is too narrow for two vehicles to pass and yet this is a trunk road," she said. "The bridge is often damaged and there is going to be a fatal accident."
