A call in from a someone who lives at Spark Bridge about a large amount of debris that has accumulated at the bridge since the floods in November.  This apparently includes large blocks of concrete with debris accumulating behind it.  It is causing an obstruction to canoeists, with a few people getting stuck. EA team alerted.
