    Report summary

    JORDAN LEE ROBERTS, aged 17, was playing in the River Wear near Finchale Abbey when he entered a particularly deep area known as the bombhole and was not seen again above the surface. He was found in more than two metres of water by emergency services the next day. The principal concern was that warning signs were inadequate, not readily visible, and did not specifically highlight the danger from the sudden deep water and strong currents.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Inadequate warning signage for river-path users about the deep pool and strong currents

    Wider context from the report

    “(1) The depth of the water in the River Wear which the three young men waded through is not particularly deep or particularly hazardous except where there is this particularly deep pool where the dangers are also compounded by strong currents. There is one warning sign on the Finchale Abbey side of the river but people walking down the well established river path on the County Council river bank side would be unaware of this sign and the three small square warning signs that are in place seem inadequate and not fit for purpose particularly bearing in mind that the water bailiff himself was unaware of their existence. Consideration therefore should be given to the question of the erection of appropriate warning signs on both sides of the River Wear in this area particularly highlighting known dangers of this particularly deep expanse of water. ”
