Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to work with all relevant bodies across Scotland to improve water safety by ensuring that:
- All waterways have life-saving equipment such as lifebelts and buoyancy Throw Bags, with ropes, to allow multiple attempts at rescue; and
- Tampering with water safety equipment is made a criminal offence of endangering public safety.
We believe that we need to improve water safety and that these improvements will save lives.
Do you agree that:
- All waterways should have life-saving equipment to allow multiple attempts at rescue?
- All safety equipment should be visible and accessible?
- Tampering with water safety equipment should be an offence of endangering public safety
