Unfortunately this is not the 1st time someone has died from falling in the water here. It's about time people were properly protected. Please fence off Beeston Weir before another tradegy occurs!
I'm amazed that this area has escaped health and safety assessment! Please review following the tragic loss of Owen Jenkins, and reduce the potential for any future tragedy.
I know this child and it saddens me to think this could have been prevented if a barrier was but up beeston and clifton side. So many children spend there holidays down there playing near the water
It's been an accident waiting to happen for years and it's a shame it's taken such a tragic event and the loss of a young boy with his whole life ahead of him for action to be taken. RIP Owen
This should not need to be up for a petition. Fence it of to prevent access onto the weir. I fish down there and in the past have managed to pursuede children to not go onto there but they don't always listen unfortunately. My thought are with Owens family I've not been able to think of much else today.
If it saves a life after the hero that passed owen then it's worth signing
So Dangerous should have been fenced off along time ago and these tragic incidents wouldn't of happened
