Southend Queensway: 'Make bridge safe now to save deaths' | Clacton and Frinton Gazette

Calls - Chris Nota and the bridge
A ‘CAGE’ covering Queensway bridge won’t be built, say council bosses, despite a family’s call for safety measures after the death of a teenager.
Chris Nota, 19, died after falling from the bridge in July last year, sparking a petition for the council to install a cage over the bridge to prevent any more deaths. It had 1,880 signatures.
The Queensway area is due to undergo a £500million regeneration scheme that will see the underpass filled in and brought to street level but it could be years before that is complete.
Ron Woodley, Independent deputy leader of Southend Council, said instead of installing a cage, the authority is working to remove the bridge as fast as possible, as part of the Better Queensway town centre transformation.
