Glasgow river rescue team criticises petition for safe swimming area in River Clyde

A Glasgow river rescue team has criticised a petition calling for the introduction of a safe swimming area to the River Clyde.

Glasgow Live reported yesterday on the petition, started by River Clyde Environment Group, who organise litter picks along the Clyde and help report activities such as wildlife sightings and suspected pollution incidents, particularly in and around Glasgow city centre. However, the Glasgow Humane Society has gone against the calls, saying that the River Clyde is far too dangerous to swim in.

The historic charity has included a solution in their criticism - calling on the SNP/Green council to make swimming pools free, whether year round or just during the warmest weather, reports the Scottish Daily Express.
