Neither of them have ever come near to falling off. It does not require railings. Children will be at much higher risk form putting them up as they will inevitably see them as a climbing frame.

I have had cause to rescued a boat by lifting it up the steps onto the prom but would have been unable to do so had there been railings there.

Railings will destroy the look of the promenade and a waste of money at the present time which could be put to more useful purposes.

Surely you can spend this money on improvements to bring visitors in, not keep them away. We have a beach hut on the front and I do not want to look at a load of steel when i sit out watching the boats and relaxing!

There must be different solution available which does not have so many risks associated with it - if indeed any action is really needed at all. Statistically the level of risk cannot be greater than mobility scooters and roads - so tackle the higher statistical risks first if its public safety thats being promoted and not a leaching of the public purse.

Don't make it worse by adding railings around the prom. How many adults and children are recorded as injuring themselves on this pathway ?
If I accept the risks of using the floating pontoon on the Hard, and children are warned there to only use one side, will the next proposal be that lifejackets must be worn by all users of the pontoon?

]]> Fri, 5 Feb 2010 01:30:25 UTC 6947800 Mrs Anonymous [Signature #279] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6947654?utm_medium=rss I own a beach hut at Brightlingsea and have never seen any accidents or anyone hurt along the promenade. The railings would be a waste of money and would look awful and would prevent people from sitting on the steps, to relax and enjoy the view. Also children, being children will try to jump or dive from the railings, therefore increasing the risk of serious injury.

]]> Fri, 5 Feb 2010 12:59:53 UTC 6947654 Mr Neil Cocks [Signature #278] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6947549?utm_medium=rss I grew up in Brightlingsea and spent an awful lot of time playing along the promenade and have never seen anyone fall down the steps. A complete waste of time and money.

Please Tendring, ,no stainless fence it's not necessasary, but perhaps painted red line on the edge of the wall would act as a warning to all.

No0one has ever fallen off the prom that I know of.
Poor people who pay a fortune for their beach huts having to sit and look at railings.
Why not fence the whole sea off all along the railway line. And stop people walking down the hard. RIDICULOUS. TENDRING YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED!!

The prom is perfectly safe as it is. If you're worried about it just put up some discreet warning signs every 100 yards or so but don't ruin what we all love - and make getting down onto the beach dangerous to-boot when kids try to climb through the railings

I went to Cnclr Viv Chapman and Mike Badger TDC and got the rail slightly lowered outside our hut. The view is still obscured and I just cannot see the point of it anyway.
SO PLEASE CAN YOU INCLUDE MY HUT AND THE OTHERS TO THE LEFT OF IT IN THE PROTEST AGAINST RAILINGS AND GET THE RAILINGS IN FRONT OF 236 TAKEN AWAY COMPLETELY, s PRINCE
