I agree something needs to be done but canals are easily accessible, I am up and down the canal towpaths most days on my bike and talk to some of the narrowboat owners, their opinion on what is happening in Manchester city centre with these deaths is unprintable even on here!!ancoats said:blue underpants said:They will not fill them in, the narrow boat trade is booming especially in the Summer and these stretches of canals through Manchester are essential to that tradeancoats said:the council and the police MUST DO SOMETHING TO STOP THIS NOW

they need to do something maybe lock off the tow paths or at night but just doing nothing is a joke after all them death's. if it was a road people would be up in arms about doing something
I know it sounds daft about a Serial Killer but I know for defo a gang of people was locked up last year for mugging people on the canal with fretting to push them in so its not so daft

MEN said:A man has died after falling in a canal in Manchester city centre in the early hours of the morning.
Emergency crews were called to a stretch of water known as the Undercroft, off Dale Street near Piccadilly Station, at around 2.55am on Thursday.
A man, believed to be middle-aged, was found floating in the canal. Paramedics fought to save him, but he was later pronounced dead. Police say the man was seen to fall into the water and officers do not believe there are any suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.
The incident was the latest in a series of canal fatalities at the Undercroft, which runs from Dale Street to Minshull Street near the Gay Village, in recent years. On Thursday morning, police officers stood guard over the scene and cordoned off a path leading from Dale Street to the canal towpath and a tunnel towards Minshull Street. Part of the canal basin was still frozen over.
A GMP spokesman said: “Police were called to the canal near to Dale Street in Manchester City Centre following a report by a witness that a man had fallen into the canal. Officers attended and found the body of a man. The death is being treated as non-suspicious and a post-mortem is due take place to establish the cause of death. Enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances as to how he ended up in the water.”
After the death, Manchester councillor Pat Karney, who has worked with police to improve safety at the Undercroft, said: “We’re very saddened to hear this and our thoughts are with this man’s family and friends. I’ve spoken to the police this morning and we will meet with them again this afternoon to assess the situation.

Why didn't the witness help him out then ,?Mad Eyed Screamer said:So if he was ''seen falling in'' by a witness, the witness can explain how he entered the water.
Was someone else there? did he trip? etc
