Closed Improve the safety of Scammonden Bridge

Closed on

I am hoping that safety measures can be put into place on the Scammonden Bridge over the M62 to try and prevent the increasing number of suicides in the UK.

Scammonden Bridge over the M62 is becoming more and more popular for people taking their own lives. Especially over the last few years this number has increased significantly and it was only yesterday that someone lost their life on this Bridge.

I am hoping with all your support that this issue could be addressed by the government and a metal safety barrier be constructed on the bridge to prevent anymore suicides occurring.

All support will be greatly appreciated.
