Concrete Pond to be Cordoned Off
03 August 2011 by Scunny Independent NewsJust had some very quick updates from councillor Andrea Davison and local Community Sergent James Main regarding the concrete pond.
Police and council officers have today visited the pond and have decided that given its current state that efforts should be made to prevent access to it on grounds of health and safety.
Cllr Davison has also explained that a cleaning company will be arriving on site to remove the remaining dead fish and hopefully other rubbish which litters the site.
Sgt Main has said that he hopes some sort of fencing can be erected around the site later on today.
It goes without saying that parents should make sure that in the mean time their children do not go down there to play,

As I went past this morning still no fence, but kids being kids they would soon be in it anyway, would it not make sence to use some of the mountains of earth across the road to fill it in until as such time they feel the need to build on it - its not rocket science and its safer, but then the chance of a bung from a fence supplier might not reach the sweaty palms ......
