Using new bridge first time yesterday, I was amazed this tatty structure got planning permission.

I noticed that the high railings leading from the town have been replaced by a barrier about four feet high, with spaces of about one foot.

Imagine a woman with toddlers in tow; the spaces are just right for a child to slip through to a sheer drop below.

Did no one think of this?

I hope it doesn't take a tragedy for this to be recognised.
