The coroner's concerns
1. lack of safe pedestrian access to airport
“Bournemouth International Airport is a busy passenger airport with daily flights operating from the airport”
2. insufficient public transport options
“There is limited access to the airport by public transport”
3. pedestrians on unsafe road surface
“pedestrians walking in the road or on the grass section next to the road on Hurn Court Lane to get to the airport terminal.”
4. absence of footpath
“no public footpath along Hurn Court Lane after turning off Parley Lane to access the airport”
5. missing pedestrian pathway
“no pathway on the side of the road at Parley Lane Parking and no crossing facility”
6. future fatalities
“future deaths given the manner in which users are accessing the airport and the lack of public transport and pedestrian access available”
