Six new police officers will be drafted in to help cover Salford Quays following the latest tragedy. Salford City Mayor Paul Dennett's announcement today comes after Kalen Waugh, 16, drowned while swimming with friends on Saturday.
The teenager's school, New Park Academy in Eccles, paid tribute to the "cheeky chappy" who was a "clever lad". Last July, Ngapee Merenga, 19, died in the Quays after swimming with teammates.
Crowds were pictured diving into the water despite repeated warnings during the extreme heatwave this week Now the city’s Mayor has revealed six new officers will be recruited to help patrol the Quays area. Mr Dennett also said 34 under-18s were handed warning letters and home visits from police.
