I'd like to see stats to support any claim of increased suicide levels, as sadly stuff like that happens pretty regularly anyway. I'm from Urmston/stretford, and it felt like there was always news about some poor soul throwing themselves in front of a train when I was growing up.
I did a quick search and there are a few articles claiming suicide attempts have risen but I’m not sure how reliable the info is.
