It comes after brothers Samuel Butler, six, and eight-year-old Finlay Butler died along with their cousin Thomas Stewart, 11, and Jack Johnson, 10, on December 11 at Babbs Lake, Solihull. "Temporary signs have been made warning of the dangers of walking on ice. The signs will be put up during the winter period and removed in the spring and stored until the following winter. The fisheries team cleared all the timber after the pool had thawed, and it was disposed of."
"Children will be children, and they will do foolish things. But they don't deserve to be punished by that kind of tragedy."
