Make the steps between barkby road and fife street in wincobank safe!

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Concrete the steps on the short cut between barkby road and fife street in wincobank. Some sort of defence to stop further mud from the banking sliding on to the steps and an extra hand rail to be put in place opposite the existing one! At a push extra lighting too
As many local residents within the wincobank area of sheffield, especially the parents on the school runs/ older children walking to and from schools, are very familiar of the short cut that leads from barkby road down onto fife street. These steps are used regular by the public everyday. They need to be concreted for extra safety as when the weather is bad they become very wet and slippery from the mud. Also the mud from the side is sloping onto the steps causing uneven ground. They desparetly need some tlc in order to prevent any fatal injuries!!
