I would like for high barriers to be placed on the bridges of the Edgware Way

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like high barriers to be placed on the Edgware Way. Mental health is a real concern for people of all ages and unfortunately suicides do occur so I am asking for these high barriers to be placed to minimise the risk of any potential issues here and to ensure that people stay safe.

I would like parliament or the government to do this because people need to keep themselves safe when their mental health plummets and in 2019 there were 5,691 registered deaths in England and Wales of suicide cases. These high bridges are extremely dangerous, they pose a real threat to everyone and this needs to be addressed.
