A bridge linking two north-east communities will finally be put under the spotlight at a public meeting next week.
Residents from Banff and Macduff have spent years highlighting their safety concerns about Banff Bridge, which connects the two towns over the River Deveron.
And earlier this year, they passed on their complaints about the structure to an economic impact study, designed to examine what the local authority could do to improve the crossing.
They will now be given the opportunity to comment on the proposals at a meeting on Wednesday.
The drop-in session, which will run from 4-8pm, will take place in the main hall at Banff Academy.
Exhibition boards will show key outcomes of the economic study, and members of the team involved in drawing it up will be on hand to answer any questions.
It will also present a range of options for the future of the bridge, emphasising their advantages and disadvantages.
Banff Bridge was designed by John Smeaton and built in 1779. Every day, about 12,000 vehicles and up to 180 pedestrians cross it.
Concern about the structure came to a head last year when the community council ramped up efforts to have it replaced.
Group member Ricky Taylor said: “There is just an accident waiting to happen there.
“We want Aberdeenshire Council to make it a priority to get a new bridge.”
