ALT "On behalf of everyone at St Helens Borough Council, we offer our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the teenage girl who sadly lost her life at Carr Mill Dam yesterday. "Whilst we wait for the full facts to be established of what caused this tragedy, we would urge all residents to be aware of the very real dangers of swimming in open water. The water hides many hazards such as debris, weeds and reeds, as well as being extremely cold. We will be continuing to work together with local emergency services to help educate young people on the dangers that open water can pose to help keep them safe." - Councillor David Baines, Leader of St Helens Borough Council - Councillor Mancyia Uddin, Cabinet Member for Safer Communities
