Calls have been made to drain a quarry where a 16-year-old died over the weekend.
Lancashire Police and Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service were called to by North West Ambulance Service at around 9.40pm on Saturday, July 9 to reports that a boy had got into difficulty in the water at Dawber Delph in Appley Bridge. After a search of the water, a body of a 16-year-old boy was found in the water.
He was found dead at the scene and his next of kin were informed at the time. Now, West Lancashire MP Rosie Cooper has called for the quarry to be drained "as a matter of urgency".
