Health and safety signage for Bury St Edmunds' falling conkers
8th October 2010 | Warning Signs
Posted by Jason Nicholls
Health and safety signs have been erected in Bury St Edmunds' Abbey Gardens to warn passers-by of the danger of falling conkers.
The health and safety signage reads "Beware Falling Conkers" and urges pedestrians to proceed with care.
Abbey Gardens staff place the safety signs on a number of trees after two visitors were struck by falling conkers.
The signs will prevent further de-conkering - a practice that has already been put in place by a council in the Midlands.
Nottingham City Council workers recently used a high-rise platform to remove all conkers from a horse chestnut tree after a four-year-old girl was injured by a stick, which was thrown by a youth to dislodge the prized nuts.
The council has defended its decision to remove all the conkers, but has been accused of some critics of over-stepping the mark when it comes to the interpretation of health and safety laws.
