Description

Sandal Castle is owned by the Council and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The monument has public access provided by the provision of walkways, two wooden bridges, wooden steps to the top of the Keep and a wooden viewing platform. These were erected between 1999 and 2002.
The wooden bridges and steps to the Keep have been closed to the public due to the requirement to undertake significant repair works.

The extensive repair works to the site include the replacement of the main supporting frames and the other elements of the bridges, Keep steps and viewing platform which are currently structurally unsound, with timber. This essentially would result in damaged/rotten materials from the structure being replaced like for like. In addition, the works include the replacement of all decking on the structures with a more durable alternative and all of the balustrades and the deep cleaning of all metal infill panels.

The additional works are designed to significantly reduce future maintenance requirements at the site, such as the regular replacement of wooden balustrades and decking, and remove the need to carry out similar substantial works as the remaining elements of the structures deteriorate further.
