Lying developers.

If affordable homes are a 'central ambition', they'd account for a lot more than 20% of those to be built.

Llanelli tragedy: Family’s plea after police officer’s harbour death sparks safety review

Rehaan Akhtar, 28, from Llanelli, was found in the water at Bristol Harbour in November last year after becoming separated from friends on a night out.

Now, his family have spoken out in a moving interview, describing him as a “big-hearted, loving guy” — and calling for urgent safety improvements to prevent further tragedy.

“A genuinely lovely, loving boy”

His sister, Meena Najmi, said the loss has devastated the family.

She described her brother as someone who “would do anything to help anyone” and revealed he had been looking forward to a new chapter in life.

Rehaan had been planning to move into a new home with his partner — and the couple were due to marry in January.

Final moments ‘devastating’

The family have seen CCTV footage of his final moments and believe he fell from a boat jetty into the water.

Najmi said the moment was “devastating” — and believes more could be done to make the area safer.

She is now urging authorities to consider barriers, better lighting and improved access points to help people escape the water if they fall in.

“If the railings were moved closer to the water’s edge, I think that would be a lot safer,” she said.

“They definitely need more lighting and steps so if someone falls in, there’s a way to get out.”

Safety review underway

The tragedy – along with other incidents – has prompted a safety review at Bristol City Council.

Councillors say they are now examining what changes can be made in what remains a busy, working harbour.

This includes looking at the number and placement of ladders, lighting levels and whether additional safety measures – including barriers – are needed.

Officials say any changes will need to balance safety with the harbour’s day-to-day operations.

Inquest to come

As previously reported by Swansea Bay News, an inquest into Rehaan’s death has already been opened, with a full hearing due to take place.

His death has sent shockwaves through the local community in Llanelli — and his family now hope speaking out will help prevent others suffering the same loss.

“We just want change”

For Rehaan’s loved ones, the focus is now firmly on making sure lessons are learned.

Their message is simple — no family should have to endure the same heartbreak.

And with a safety review now underway, they are hoping action will follow.

Oh dear.

How sad.

Never mind.
