Until such time as improved safety measures can be introduced they erect conspicuous warnings signs to encourage the closer supervision children playing in the railway/fountain environment.

We will investigate the question of signage in the area although with the approach of winter, it is most unlikely that any children will play in the water feature. Free-standing signs will only lead to vandalism and we will have to assess the feasibility of fixed signs being put in place on a temporary basis. Whether the erection of signs aimed at encouraging the closer supervision of children will have any effect is somewhat debatable.
