Local resident Eve Dugdale has provided key information to Manchester Evening Standing, as was walking in the country park with family and friends when the emergency services arrived at the scene. She said:

“We’d just walked past the waterfall when three fire engines, an ambulance and the helicopter turned up.

“We saw a pram in the water at the waterfall with all the baby paraphernalia in the water.

“It was a grey and black buggy near the bottom and it looked like a blanket, a changing mat and other stuff were at different stages above it.

“They moved us off and we walked away. We’re at the entrance to the park now and there are loads of vehicles here.

“It’s a really popular spot, especially at this time of year and there are loads of families about.

“Everyone seems to be a bit shocked.”
