Introduce CCTV and/or railings in the dangerous areas of York such as Lendall Bridge and around Ouse River

A simple, yet well overdue solution that could save lives. The local council and universities should be empowered to raise awareness of the dangers of drinking and night hiking alone.

safety been the operative word, so many drinking establishments around the river, and so many dark areas, close the river routes off at the evenings, and have some sort of monitored patrol present, york is a beautiful city and to think in such a short space of time such horrendous things have happened, our thoughts are with the young girls family whom has jus been found, and wish for a positive outcome for the young man whom is currently missing, take care all, and if in a group be vigilant of your freinds and others whereabouts.

Great idea!

Long overdue

we need railings to stop more young people falling in to the river york council should listen to the people they ar a lot of touriest in york now give some thing back to the people and hear our pleas something needs to be done

This is a much needed request

I think that cameras are a good idea but getting railings or a segmentation from the walk ways to the river would reduce the risk of fatalities such as Megan from happening.

the big wigs at the council listen to the people for once make it saferfor our young generation

it puts me off going to york now with children wont feel safe there anymore with they being no barriors near the river

people should stop going to visit york if the council is not going to do anything to make it safer for our young ones

the council should listen to our voices they is going to be more young people we lose to the river how many more lifes have to be lost before the council sit up and listen to the people something needs to be done sooner rather than later to stop these young people from losing there lifes how many more lifes need to be lost before u do something york city council do something now before another life is lost please listen to us

A student city with a river , two university's this should most definitely be done !

i have found out the councillers nam at guildhallward who is in charge of safty for the centre and rivers she is counciller janet looker maybe we all need to start letting her know how many people feel so strong about this and needs something doing

CCTV should have been put all along the river areas years ago. How many more people have to die before anyone will listen?

Fingers crossed this happens and no more young lives are lost xx

Good idea

Something needs to be done.

If having CCTV makes it safer for people walking by the river then I fully support this. Not necessarily in relation to only young people who have had a lot to drink. They do need to take more responsibility for themselves but sadly peer pressure can lead to some irresponsible behaviour. This will help cover dark areas should anything happen and at least give the authorities a point of reference should another tragic accident happen. Those people who think it is clever to deliberately jump in the river, however and put themselves in danger should be ashamed of themselves. The likes of Megan and Ben were tragic accidents and should never be diminished by someone else being irresponsible on purpose.
