An inquest revealed that Peabody failed to address the safety concerns of the City Road basin railings for five months before Malika Hibu's tragic accident, showing negligence in ensuring public safety.
Friends of Regent's Canal raised alarms about Peabody's planning application, arguing that their proposed fencing would restrict public access to the area, contrary to the original planning conditions that prioritized openness.
Ian Shacklock highlighted the community's fears regarding Peabody's plans, stating they would essentially block public access to the towpath while emphasizing the necessity for the boat club's access for safety.
While acknowledging the need for safety measures around designated play areas, Shacklock questioned if Peabody's proposed fence had to be constructed right at the water's edge, indicating a possible overreach.
