Rejected petition Make the barrier at St Peters way bridge Bolton higher!

The barrier at St peters way bridge needs to be higher to prevent people being able to climb over and commit suicide! I personally know people who have jumped from this bridge and it is still happening, it is too east for people to be able to climb over as it is at a level that isnt that high.

More details

There has been a number of people taking their own lifes on this bridge as it easy to climb over to get onto the wrong side. To make the barriers high could prevent people from climbing over and could lower the number of people using it to take their own lifes.
