I think you should get onto the council and raise the "health and safety issue" on how visitors to our area are meant to cross to one of the area's only tourist attraction.. This should make them think? One thing is for sure they will not act on your concern's as a local....
But play on the visitor appeal etc.
And ask Ossy mill's how they feel about the health and safety of there visitor's.
I have seen the council jump through hoop's when "The health and safety issue" is pushed.... Let's hope eh..
