Bath Council to increase safety along footpath of River Avon to reduce deaths

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

If you live/work/study in Bath, you are probably aware of the number of people that have had their lives taken by the River Avon. Increasing the safety along the footpath (more streetlights, erecting higher fences) will reduce the amount of deaths that have happened over the recent years.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This is the responsibility of the local council.

You could raise this with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
