New safety measures look set to be introduced on the north bank of the River Tyne in Northumberland following the tragic death of a teenager last month.
Robert Hattersley died following an incident in the river near Ovingham and Prudhoe in July.
The 13-year-old, from nearby Crawcrook, got into difficulty while swimming with friends. A massive search and rescue operation was launched, but sadly Robert's body was found by police.
