The coroner's concerns
1. open access to motorway
“The steps afford open access to the M56 motorway (although their original design purpose is seemingly now redundant)”
2. damaged boundary fencing
“Part of the boundary fencing in the vicinity of the steps is damaged or in a state of disrepair”
3. lack of warning signs
“There are no signs in place warning the public of danger, due to the proximity of the motorway”
4. children's play area near motorway
“I am told that there is a children's play area in the vicinity”

Later report
“During the inquest, I heard that [REDACTED] is a pedestrian walkway running underneath the M56 motorway. On the northern side of the motorway (eastbound carriageway side) the entrance to the walkway tunnel is constructed so that the buttress walls form a ramp-like structure which has a shallow gradient topped with a waist-high railing which provides an easily accessible and walkable route from the footpath to the Armco crash barrier bordering the hard shoulder of the eastbound motorway carriage”
