Kyra Hill death: Liquid Leisure water park fined £80,000

The council, which brought the charge, said: “We welcome the judge’s decision to hand down a firm sentence which reflects the seriousness of this case.

“The legal duty is on businesses to fully comply with their legal requirements to manage and minimize risks to their staff and customers.”

Earlier, Kyra’s father Leonard Hill paid tribute to his “beautiful, brave, determined, happy and loving” daughter.

He added: “She stood for what was true and right and was a natural leader.”

Liquid Leisure, which offers a range of water sports at the centre, has been contacted for comment.
