Personal safety away from BSU premises

The path that runs along the River Avon between Green Park and Windsor Bridge has limited edge protection. When tired, or under the influence, this becomes a significant hazard and the risk of falling into the water increases. Following a number of tragic incidents BANES council (supported by BSU) have installed railings in the highest risk areas.
