Suicide prevention: can a petition save lives on this bridge?
In this town, it seems like everyone knows someone who has died on ‘suicide bridge’.
When Georgie, 24, lost a close friend earlier this year, she decided to change things. Soon, her petition to put up barriers got hundreds of signatures.
But people started saying that barriers wouldn’t fix the problem.
Was she right? She meets a suicide prevention expert to find out the best way to save a life.
