Access Mobility Plan by the River

I had a chat today with a lady who lives along the road to the Co-op, and she's quite worried about plans she's heard for the area by the Gliss which is rented by Hay Council from the Water Board.
At the moment it's just a patch of rough ground, bordered by the Dulas Brook on one side. She said that Hay Council had been talking about plans to put in a new footpath and possibly benches, and even a bridge across the Dulas Brook to provide a new walkway to the Co-op. She was also worried because none of the residents along the road had been consulted about the plans.

So I went to Hay Council's website to look at the Council Meeting minutes.

The most recent minutes are from March, where an idea for providing better access to the riverbank for the disabled is discussed. The Council wanted to put together an Access Mobility Plan. No further details were given, apart from a possible pathway.
At the same meeting, they were interested in looking at a long-term plan to encourage disabled people to use the Miles Without Stiles routes which have been created around Hay. These are the public footpaths where stiles have been replaced by gates, to make wheelchair access possible.
They were also thinking about putting in information posts which would include audio information. Apparently GPs can now make prescriptions out for walking (rather than the more usual pills from the chemist), to encourage patients to walk further, and the Miles Without Stiles routes could be helpful in this, perhaps using the information posts as markers for how far the patient has to walk.
The Council also discussed the possibility of applying for a grant of £96,000 from the Visit Wales Tourism Fund. This would be for a project which would completely resurface the Old Railway Line (they estimated this would cost £56,000), with information boards and a life-sized wooden statue of a horse and carriage on the Old Tram Line (presumably the sort of carriage that had been used on the Tram Line). The Council would need to provide 20% match funding, but most of this could be in the form of volunteer hours. In March, this was put forward purely as an Expression of Interest.

Of course, the lockdown for Covid-19 began on 23rd March, so all of these plans may come to nothing.

I could find nothing in the Council minutes about a proposed bridge across the Dulas. They were talking about the houses that had flooded shortly before their meeting, though, and I would think that the construction of an extra bridge close to the point where the Dulas empties into the Wye might cause more problems for the houses upstream - so maybe not a brilliant idea?
It would also, of course, need to be discussed with Cusop Council, the Dulas Brook being the border between Hay and Cusop. The most recent minutes for Cusop Parish Council are from 18th March, when they were far more concerned with the possibility of Covid-19 lockdown, and made no mention of footpaths or bridges.
