The coroner's concerns
1. delayed response to immediate incident
“the team in dispatch were not aware of the immediate incident which resulted in a delay in it being actioned by them”
2. lack of life buoy provision on riverbank
“Sainsburys were not represented at the inquest and I do not have any evidence from them in relation to their plans for the bank next to the River Avon in Bath however | would ask that they consider their responsibility as land owner along this stretch of river in question which falls within the high risk area”
