Festive revellers in Leeds are being warned to act responsibly near water during their night out, as part of a national charity’s Don’t Drink and Drown campaign.
The campaign, run by the UK’s drowning prevention charity the Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK), urges people not to walk home near bodies of water after they have been drinking.
Last year 20 per cent of all adult accidental drowning victims in the UK had alcohol in their bloodstream. Latest statistics reveal that 26 people drowned in Leeds in the last five years, and four were found to have had alcohol or drugs in their system.
