A friend of my Daughter lost his dog there a few years ago. Its body was found a few days later. 😢 Please sign. Next time it could be a child.

Dougy Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) Signed Horrific thing to see, and surely is unavoidable if only signage. Edited October 31, 2020 by Dougy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriusgarrulus Posted October 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 https://www.crewechronicle.co.uk/news/dogs-tragic-death-after-being-8572447 An article from 5 years ago when they promised to make it safe. It is where the river goes under the railway line. The dog that went in yesterday has not been found as of 15:00 this afternoon. 😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Thought these things had to have bar like gages over them to stop this happening. Disgraceful in this age of the nanny state that this can go on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhastings Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Signed. Must be horrific to see. Wonder if any make it through. I guess they fight it and stay in too long. Just terrible 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriusgarrulus Posted November 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Statement today from the owner: First of all I'd like to say a massive thank you to everyone. We are overwhelmed by the support we have received from everyone. Update: we now strongly think that Bruce didn't make it out the other side and sadly got stuck underwater. We tried a few different test to see if anything would pass through and nothing did. We were back there this morning and met 2 workers who had been contracted in from #Nationalrail. They were on the other side clearing debris out of the water and cutting down the over hanging branches. They said that they had informed higher up that the correct fencing needs fitting on the path side straight away because of how dangerous the current is in the river. So fingers crossed this happens today. The fireman, national water and a drainage worker have all said the same thing about the area. They can't believe how unsafe it is without the correct fencing. A small child could lean over the rain and fall in very easily. The current of the river even though it doesn't look strong, would be capable of pulling a grown adult underwater and into the pipes. We will keep pushing to make sure the correct fencing is installed and signs are put up to inform people of the danger. If one good thing can come from this is that it will be never happen again.

loriusgarrulus Posted November 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) A local Doggy Daycare have put up the green fencing and warning signs until the Network Rail can sort something out more permanent.

Pistol p Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Is it not worth keeping your dog on lead in a known dangerous area? Just saying. Edited November 1, 2020 by Pistol p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would, however it clearly wasn't immediately obvious before the temporary fence and signs went up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is not everyone knows about it. I have lived here since 2001 and hadn't heard about the pipes until my Daughters friends dog died there a couple of years back.
