Pedestrians are being told to focus more on their personal safety than their phones this week after an influx of pedestrian incidents left five dead and four injured in the last couple of weeks.
Lord mayor Graham Quirk delivered his State of the City address on Tuesday in which he said, “there is far too much use of electronic devices when people should be putting their own safety first.”
The Lord mayor concluded by saying, “[pedestrians] are never going to win the battle against a bus or car or motorbike.
