RE: "Police search for missing swimmer near Kincardine Harbour"
Related to the unfortunate situation of the missing swimmer at the south pier, Sunday afternoon, I noticed that at either of these piers, both north and south, there is no safety equipment whatsoever.
Not a ring buoy, shepherd's crook or loop, throw ropes, emergency telephone. NOTHING.
Apparently, when this incident took place Sunday afternoon, there were many people on the pier. If perhaps any of these safety items were available, this young person’s life may have been saved. Just perhaps!
We boast about our Blue Flag beach, but don’t consider the piers which many young people tend to use.
A concerned citizen,
