South Ferriby Keeping The Community Safe

South Ferriby Cement Plant recently donated 30 high vis jackets to the village for residents to use walking alongside the main road. 

Unfortunately, the Environment Agency has had to put temporary flood defences on the old pavement meaning the new footpath is very close to the road and narrow.  Originally there was a bank down from the road to a path which meant pedestrians were well away from the road.  Although the new footpath is above legal minimum size the residents feel unsafe. Only recently a toddler tripped on the path and fell into the road, subsequently the council made the road a 20-mph limit.

The team at the Plant thought that it would be good to help make pedestrians more visible and have donated the high vis jackets to be used by the village.
