Liverpool Council have hit out after seeing a group of people on an iced over lake in Sefton Park.

It's reported to have happened on Wednesday afternoon, just days after the deaths of 4 boys in Solihull, who died after falling in to icy water.

A spokesperson for Liverpool City Council said:

“The ice may look thick on this lake, but these adults are even thicker to think it’s ok walk on it. Given what we all saw tragically unfold at Solihull at the weekend it’s with great sadness to see people put their lives at risk in this way.

"The fact they were asked to get off it and were dismissive and abusive makes the matter even worse.

"Signs have been erected warning of the dangers at all our parks and lakes and we would implore anyone not to go anywhere near an iced over body of water. Better to admire the beauty and wonder of these frosty landscapes, rather than be a victim of their deadly trap.”
