The Safer Neighbourhood team has carried out a foot patrol through the City Centre this morning, out to the Left Bank and over Victoria Bridge. The river level remains quite high and fast flowing with debris visible. We engaged with a number of children who were standing by the riverbank. Words of advice given regarding the dangers of the river. Please note the towpath has standing water in places, and remains slippery underfoot with mud and leaves.
