Make Medway River running through Maidstone town (kent)safer

Maidstone is a vibrate and social town it is known for its night life but unfortunately my beloved partner Pat fell in the river and drowned in The Medway river after a night out in Maidstone town by the river there are steps that need a gate and locked at certain times to make it safer.Also there is no lighting near the river or railings to protect anyone falling in.So feel this needs to be looked at. Not just at night but in the day when the water is higher and the path muddy and slippy anyone could fall in.Myself when looking for Patrick had to be careful. I feel that better lighting,railings and a lock on the gate at night would really help and make it safer for children as well as adults. Maidstone promotes itself as a nightlife town so needs to make it a safer environment for this to be.
