Contractors and officers from Infrastructure and Environment are carrying out additional safety works at the Victoria Marine Lake today.
As part of the immediate response to the recent incident, new safety measures including additional concrete blocks, ropes and marker floats are being installed.
This will help to deter access to dangerous areas and reinforce public safety messages.
Warning signage at the Marine Lake is also being updated. Outdated signage is being removed, missing signs are being replaced, and additional warning signs are being installed.
These measures form part of a wider programme of immediate risk mitigation while engineers continue to assess longer-term options for the structure.
The public is reminded that they should not swim in or near the Victoria Marine Lake under any circumstances and should not walk around it.
