Anger is mounting in a local community after a third young person died in a flooded quarry - and it has still not been drained or filled.
The body of a 16-year-old boy was tragically pulled from the water-filled quarry at Dawber Delph in Appley Bridge, near Wigan, on Saturday night (July 9). Emergency services including police, paramedics and fire crews were scrambled to the scene after he 'got into difficulty' in the water.
His death is not being treated as suspicious, officers added. This latest tragedy brings the death toll at the quarry to three, with previous deaths tragically occurring in 1999 and 2015, LancsLive reports.
