Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Fund extra security and higher fencing on bridges for public safety
I want the Government to provide funding for extra security measures on bridges, such as barriers or fences, to reduce the risk of suicide.
More details
There are too few security measures on many bridges to prevent people taking their own life. I think the Government should provide additional funding to install taller fences or cages, to both safe lives and prevent the impact witnessing a suicide can have on witnesses.
