The coroner's concerns
1. lack of signage and safety aids
“There was no signage warning of the dangers of swimming or safety aids at Lock 62 or within the nearby vicinity. There remains no signage at all locks in the immediate area and children continue to play in and near the water despite correspondence dated 5 July 2016 from the Canal % River Trust that stated that signs would be erected at all locks in the immediate vicinity. Future deaths could be prevented by the presence of signs and safety aids.”
