Help urged after Queen’s Park pond springs a leak

Birds which use Queen’s Park pond are in urgent need of help after the park’s pond sprung a leak, leaving water levels very low.

Green Party councillor Ben Duncan has urged assistance from volunteers for help the park ranger on Tuesday afternoons from 1pm and believes it is the perfect opportunity to remove debris from the bed of the pond.

Cllr Duncan said: “It’s a shock seeing the pond like this, and we need to act fast to limit the damage to the ecosystem. However it’s fantastic that the local community is pulling together to help protect the wildlife that lives in the pond. We urge officers to work on a solution urgently, but in the meantime this is a golden opportunity to remove debris from the bed.

“We need volunteers to help the Park Ranger work on temporary solutions for the pond, which will be happening Tuesday afternoons from 1pm. Anyone who wants to help out can come along and pitch in.

“Together we need to find a long-term fix so that the pond can be restored to its usual level. Ward councillors will continue to work with officers and residents to help find a sustainable solution so that both wildlife and residents can enjoy it for years to come.”
