I am a resident deeply concerned about the safety of our community members in Sandown, UK. The esplanade that stretches between Shanklin and Sandown is a beautiful place where locals and tourists alike come to enjoy the scenery. However, it lacks one crucial element - safety railings.

Without these railings, there is a significant risk of people falling from height, especially during adverse weather conditions or in low light situations. This isn't just an imagined fear; according to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), falls are the most common type of accident in all age groups in the UK.

The installation of safety railings along this stretch would not only provide physical protection but also peace of mind for those who frequent this area. It's not just about preventing accidents; it's about creating an environment where everyone can feel safe while enjoying our beautiful esplanade.

Let us prioritize our community's safety by urging local authorities to install these much-needed railings. Please sign this petition today to help make our esplanade safer for everyone who uses it.
