Petition Action

Make Calderdale council take action to prevent suicides at North Bridge.

Petition Details

North Bridge in Halifax has become a suicide hot spot and Calderdale Council are not putting measures in place to try and prevent people using this area.

Additional Information

Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Economic Strategy, Cllr Barry Collins, added:
“The Council has a vital role in preventing suicide. In addition to the range of actions being taken by the Suicide Prevention Group, such as supporting people at risk, we need to reduce the ability to climb North Bridge and introduce safety measures to prevent further fatalities. Research evidence shows that preventing access can reduce suicides.”
