I'd love to know how they're going to be removed !!

A council worker would do it in an hour or two

How is the bridge getting damaged? That link doesn't actually say anything about it being damaged, they say that's why they've been removed in the opening but really it's to restore decorum.

A bolt cutter is enough to remove these locks and is very easy to operate. Nothing along the lines of an angle grinder is required.

This is not vandalism is nothing is being damaged, if you can show how the bridge is being damaged then fair enough.

Only last week I saw some padlocks locked in between grooves on the bridge. A bolt cutter wouldn't get in to cut them off. Only way of removing them is an angle grinder.

is it this bad yet? if not, calm down for a while....this happens all over the world

So what, we're supposed to wait until it gets that bad and just leave it for now because it happens everywhere else?
