Hi everyone
Please sign and distribute to people you know. This is a friend of mine. And she’s a cracking lass.
The Humber bridge has been a hotspot for suicide, this problem appears to be increasing, we need to as a community take action to prevent another family losing a loved one in this tragic way, there has been numerous ways suggested to make the bridge safer but I propose locked gates, this would be set between the hours of 22:00-06:00 to reduce the impulsiveness, it is evidenced that people in distress will act upon their thoughts late at night as they are less likely to be stopped, I realise there will be opposition to this but people who genuinely need to access the bridge late at night could apply for a pass this would reduce those acting on impulse. In the last 5 weeks there has been 5 suicides with further non successful attempts, this in my opinion is 5 too many. We need to act to stop this happening, we as a community have a responsibility to keep our loved ones and those in distress safe.
Over this last weekend my sons girlfriend died by suicide on the bridge, this has devastated her family, my family and all of her friends, she had the rest of her life to live, she was greatly loved and this may not have occurred if she did not have access to the bridge late at night.
I hope that people can sign this petition to make this change.
