I thing the council or the town park rangers should do something about that, I think the pool is in the town park anyway, someone could get really hurt next time. glad she is all right.

Shame the dog walkers thought it was a prank – suppose thats indicative of todays society – suspicious minds combined with the heightened fear of personal attacks.

Actually I can sympathise you dont need to walk too far from the Hinksay pools to find some pretty deep but inconspicuous mud pools. I found that out for myself several years ago, although I did manage to escape without the help of the Fire Service lol
I suppose these pools are the remnants of the old canal?

I attended to Antonia along with my collegue in the white shirt. Im the one in green on the left getting the BP cuff out to do the basic observations. It was fortunate that someone heard her scream for help. Thank fully she didn’t need to go to hospital, even though there was a second ambulance as we pulled out. My collegue and i were talking about strange jobs before we got this call.

Like you, I’m glad she’s OK, but what exactly do you think should be done about it? There are loads of signs round the Town Park pools warning of deep mud, there are good paths – what do you want – them filling in, or perhaps covered with safety netting? (might annoy the anglers a bit!).
Ever been to the seaside? There’s lots of really scary water there.

Oh come on Daisy, you can’t fence off everything that might be dangerous. Antonia had a frightening accident, luckily she didn’t suffer any lasting harm. These pools are in the southern, wild part of the Town Park, and should be left as they are.
Accidents will happen (I should know!) but hopefully she and others will have learned from this one.
