The new plaque has been welcomed by the Mayor of Barrow, Cllr Helen Wall. The council’s lead member for heritage and wildlife said: “This family of geese have clearly touched someone’s heart. “I think it shows a great a sensitivity that someone actually wanted to put the plaque there and commemorate these geese. “It is a really nice thing to do. “It would be good to put a sign up there to remind people that geese do cross in that area. “It shows that we are a community that cares about our wildlife.” Earlier this month on 12 May, the family of geese were killed by a driver while crossing Wilkie Road, Barrow..

The mum was collecting her daughter from nursery when she noticed the family of birds walking across the road. To prevent any accidents, the quick-thinker directed cars away from the geese so they could safely make it to the other side. She said: “I was on my way to collect my daughter from nursery (on foot) and I noticed the geese and goslings walking on the road.
