Porthleven pier safety rails

Porthleven is a small traditional fishing village in Cornwall. Every year they hold a food festival that serves alcohol all day every day and is wide open to the sea, with no safety rails off the harbour or pier. My friends life was lost this year and safety modern day measures need to come into place before anyone else is lost. The dates for the next festival have been released for April 23. Barriers and safety measures need to be put into place even if its just short term whilst the festival is on. Closure of the pier from 6pm till 6am whilst the drink fuelled festival weekend takes place needs to be implemented at the very least.

This old Cornish town traditional food festival has obviously grown in modern times and tourism and volume and popularity, but unfortunately the safety of the Porthleven small fishing village has remained as it was many centuries ago. There are no safety barriers or lights on a pier that goes straight out to an aggressive sea.
