Frozen Lakes

Please see below an urgent message from Gary Davenport, Station Officer for South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue.


Dear Parent
/Carer

Since the Tragic events in Solihull involving young people playing on Ice, It has come to our attention that young people in the North Doncaster area are also taking the opportunity to play on frozen lakes and ponds. 

This obviously carries enormous danger as evidenced in the tragic incident in Solihull.

Please speak to the young people in your lives and express the dangers of playing on frozen ponds and lakes, especially as the weather is due to become milder and therefore the ice will begin to melt.

Stay safe.

Gary Devonport
