BREAKING: WIDOWS BAY RESIDENTS FURIOUS OVER ‘SAFETY BARRIER’ THAT COULD’VE PREVENTED TRAGEDY
Angry locals are up in arms after it was revealed that a $50,000 “safety barrier” at Widows Bay was installed BACKWARDS—with the warning signs facing the parking lot instead of the cliff edge.
“Common sense would tell you to point the warnings at the people about to fall off, not the people getting out of their cars,” fumed lifelong resident Carol Jenkins, 62. “Ten years and dozens of near-misses later, and they finally put something up—and it’s literally facing the wrong way. What next, life rings filled with cement?”
The council has defended the barrier, saying it’s “aesthetic” and meant to “slow down vehicle access.” Meanwhile, locals have started a petition demanding a real fence—and a recall of whoever signed off on this. “My granddad used to say, the safest fence is the one you can actually see. Guess common sense isn’t that common in City Hall.”
