Thousands of people back Humber Bridge safety petition
They want improved measures to be put in place
Last updated 9th Apr 2021
A petition to improve safety on the Humber Bridge has reached around 10-thousand signatures.
Footpaths remain closed off to pedestrians following a number concerns for welfare.
Reverend Lyn Kenny wants more measures to be put in place - she conducted the funerals of people whose deaths were associated with the bridge and says it can have a huge impact on families and friends.
The Humber Bridge Board says it's working with Public Health, MPs, councils, emergency services and charities to keep people safe.
They released a statement last weekend which said:
"Due to a recent incident, we have decided to close the footways on both sides of the Humber Bridge for an indefinite period.
"We appreciate this may cause inconvenience but we ask that pedestrians and cyclists respect the decision and avoid the Humber Bridge at the present time."
