Concerns summary (AI summary) The urgent need to review and implement protective safety measures on North Bridge to prevent further fatalities, following previous similar incidents.
Action Planned (AI summary) Calderdale Council completed a feasibility study to identify suicide prevention options for the North Bridge, but the parapet option was rejected due to structural concerns.

Calderdale has a multi-agency suicide prevention group aiming to reduce suicides to zero, which is working on a suicide prevention plan based on government areas of action.
