The bus collided with crowds in Sea Lane

Paula Rhodes and husband Richard from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, were among five people killed when a bus collided with a crowd outside Fantasy Island.

Neal Cooper has campaigned to get the area at Ingoldmells, Lincolnshire, pedestrianised by this bank holiday.

A 5,000 signature-strong petition has been collected since the Easter Bank Holiday accident.

Safety pledge

Joanne Warren, 37, from Leicester, and her sons Jacob, five, and Leyton, four months, also died in the accident on Sea Lane.

Mr Cooper told the BBC: "I've been assured by Lincolnshire County Council that they are going to do something to make the area safer.

"They haven't confirmed what it is, but, we can't really get it done until after the police investigation because they might want to view it during a possible court case.

"I don't think it will fail, we will get the area made safer, I'm absolutely confident of that."

Mr Cooper said that he is not familiar with campaigning but he hopes the hundreds of people who turned up for a protest march calling for better safety measures in May will continue to support him.
