Topic: Coroner's finding in Sulphur Point death
Enquiry
We published this article today about a coroner's finding in relation to a death at Sulphur Point in 2020. The Coroner included comment from the council in her findings.
Just wanted to check with you if a representative from the council would like to make any further comments on signage around Sulphur Point warning members of the public about the dangers of hydrogen sulphide inhalation.
Response
From RLC Spokesperson:
Along with the erecting of signs, Council also introduced foot patrols to try and help reduce the chances of tourists, the public and rough sleepers accessing those key areas. Anyone who observe this sort of activity should report it to Council immediately on (07) 348 4199.
