Looks perfectly fine to me, I am surprised that footbridges over rivers and on trails can even be controversial tbh.
Depending on the Street View/satellite context I would have made the supporting photo more zoomed out, but I suppose it’s not too hard to find the bridge.
I think if the path was a bit drier, I would have taken a few more steps back and taken better main and supporting images. If this gets rejected, I’ll try and resubmit.
Looking good.
Things are a bit squidgy underfoot at the moment.
Wait… what? That’s not a guaranteed pass? Shocked.
I usually leave bridges for people who see them as a sure thing and there’s a lot of divided opinions of them, so I tend to shy away from them without knowing what really makes them qualify.
This is often why i get fustrated when i cant give feedback to the submitter on why i have rejected something. I would like people to know whey iv reject not just that its an ‘Invalid’
But this is a seporate debate
Oh I know the pain about feedback.
And that is not a bridge it’s a culvert 
I would say the two photos are near identical. I now have no context.
Is there another photo on the other side that shows it differently. Or a photo that shows from a bit of distance actually over the river? You can take first and edit as appropriate on phone and upload from phone when creating POI if (IF) that helps.
As for text. Love it. I would modify to something like (and this is just a draft and only to provide foundation to work with)
Wooden footbridge over the River Brent. Providing a connecting point between the Brentford Riverside Footpath (Part of the London Capital Ring) and the Greenford to Gurnell Greenway with both Perivale Park and Pear Tree Park. These paths highlight the environment and history of the area and provide access to major sporting and recreational activities found in the park.

Hope this helps
Fun facts. Pear Tree Park is one of Londons newest parks opening in 2024. (used to be a golf course)
Perivale Wood that borders Perivale Park is one the oldest Local Natural Reserves. And is Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation.
@P1dg3ySlayer go wild at Perivale Perivale Park London And with the park being new. I would hazard a host of POI opps…
It only clicked when I got home that the 2 images were too similar. I would need to go back there if I were to get more images. The other side of the bridge is not much different from what I recall. I don’t know if a Scaniverse scan would help with context, but I might not be able to get around to doing it any time soon.
Yeah. I hear you. Limit to how often or soon you can go back to a place.
Also consider a shot taken on the bridge. Looking along it. They sometimes work.Lift camera up, looking towards park and you may get water either side with Perivale Park in background.
Thank you for sharing. Good one to think about and I learnt/remembered more about London. I forgot the old Hoover building over the other side at Ealing. (miles from this POI) Still - Memories!
The Hoover Building (Now Tesco) isn’t all thay far away. Itonically, there is a bus that goes from Perivale Park to the Hoover Building.
Nice!
I’d leave off “and provide access to major sporting and recreational activities found in the park”. The nomination is the bridge and its trail. I think mentioning other things waters down the bridge’s importance. That phrase almost makes a case that the bridge is just the means to the actually interesting things - when the bridge is the interesting thing we’re nominating.
Personally (as a U.K. reviewer) details such as what the bridge is made of are unimportant - only if it was a key feature of its architecture. The bridge is important because of its function, not its material. The same way there is no need to say wooden footpath sign.
I don’t want to start labelling every nomination I submit based on the materials that are used to make it just for it to get approved, unless it is vital for that information to be added.
The nomination has entered voting. I’m hoping for the best, but expecting the worst.
I had a steel footbridge rejected as “generic business” this morning after being “in review”. Looks to me as though it matters.
How on earth is that the case…?
For the reason you are giving. I would hazard the user is rushing, some think any footbridge is generic so plonk for the closest word for them. I used to get stuff like this all the time.
What I learnt here - as much as it was painful to let go of the lack of real detail - is to go back and review my nomination and see where I could make it better. Often posting here and getting feedback.
You are right sometimes there is no rhyme nor reason to the system… but it is what it is…
Appeal it if you worried and explain why.
Personally I get where Elijustrying is coming from. Unless the material has some relevance to being a great place to explore then does it make sense to say it. Had not thought of it like that before
It is a choice to still want to use the bridge material. But in this instance I fail to see the relationship.
Sorry everyone I bit … Sigh
