This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition more protection for the Humber Bridge.
The Humber Bridge needs more barriers on there original barriers to stop and deter people who are thinking of jumping off. I know this may cost a lot of money but it's worth spending money on something as important as this then someone ending their lives.

This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The management and administration of the Humber Bridge are the responsibility of the Humber Bridge Board under the Humber Bridge Act 1959.
The Humber Bridge Board has 6 members: the Leaders of the four Local Authorities and two members from the private sector. You can find out how to contact the Board here:

Given that the leaders of the local authorities are involved, you could also raise this issue with local councillors. You can use this page to find out who the local councillors are and how to contact them:
