Pond soaks up our cash
• TWO years ago I was approached by a lady in Whittington Park who said she was conducting a survey on behalf of the council on whether people would like a pond in the park. I pointed out that the park was too small to accommodate a pond, that it would be a constant source of friction between dog owners and parents who would object to dogs jumping in the water, and that it was a waste of money as the area had just been replanted with expensive turf.
Two years on, there is just a big gaping hole in the ground surrounded by fences and a lot of rubbish. How much did the laying of new turf cost and why was it dug up less than a year afterwards?
Who is responsible for such a hare-brained scheme in the first place? The culprit should be named and shamed and made to repay the costs of ruining our park.
