They actually said yes to the bridge and I am just sitting here crying because this is finally happening. I can hardly believe we crossed the finish line but I want to stay focused on the blueprints just to make sure they stick to the promise of safety. Thank you …

This page is to campaign for a foot bridge to be built over the main road on which Katie Gallagher tragically died on the 14th of January this year 2009! We do not want anyone else to feel the pain that all of Katie's friends and family have felt since the day she died. A foot bridge is the only way to ensure that people crossing and driving, do not have an accident, and get to other side in safety. The more people that sign this petition, the more effective it is likely to be, in the sence that in the future, a bridge will be made, and then the people will have safe passage to get to the other side of lancs. if anyone knows of any accidents that have happened on the A580 please speak up, as we can make a record and it will all help towards having the bridge made. send the link around and lets get these signatures for Katie!

I was looking at the road again today and it just feels so impossible that nothing has changed yet even though I keep hearing from so many of you who remember exactly how dangerous that stretch is. Please keep telling me about the near misses you have seen because I am going to print every single story out to show them that this is not just about one day but about keeping everyone safe every single time they cross.

A hundred people signed this and honestly I did not think that would happen so fast. It feels like such a long road ahead but knowing there are others thinking about Katie makes the weight a little easier to carry.

About time. That stretch of road is a death trap. Glad someone is finally pushing for this.

Heartbreaking accident. That road is a total nightmare to cross. Something needs to be done before another life is lost.

Lived near the A580 my whole life and its always been dangerous. Way too many cars speeding through there. Build the bridge already!

My thoughts are with the family. A bridge is the bare minimum the council can provide to keep kids safe.

So scary crossing that road. Even as an adult I hate it. Really hope this gets sorted for Katie.
