Bollards give 'safe feeling'

Comments on the bollards erected on the bridge in the recent refurbishing have ranged from 'too many' to agreement with the number, the recent KCA meeting heard.



"I don't think there are too many," chairman Kieran Forde said. "When you walk along the bridge now, you have a lovely safe feeling."

Siobhan Tutty-Bardon agreed, saying it was particularly good for people with young children.

Tony Gahan said that even with the restrictions imposed by the bollards, he had seen a motorist drive onto a section of the footpath in an attempt to park between them.

"He eventually gave up," he said.
