According to articles in The Guardian (5.10.09 and 1.5.12) by Severin Carrell , a reputable journalist , : FIFTEEN A YEAR , at least until the much publicised deaths of two teenage girls in October 2009 resulted in the erection of a high fence on either side of the bridge. Whether this appalling statistic refers to an average or a maximum figure and whether it refers to records going back to the bridge's opening in 1971 is not clear . Tragic though the deaths of Neve Lafferty and Georgina Rowe were, it makes you wonder why so much was made of the event by the media if it was so commonplace (the ages and known background or the girls excepted , perhaps) - and why nothing was done earlier to discourage such incidents . Fifteen a year since the bridge had opened would mean 600 deaths : is this credible ?
