Farnley Hall Fish Pond has been neglected for many years but is now set for a much-needed clean up, with funding provided by the council.
Residents have been invited by letter to join a public consultation on Monday, 9 September from 3pm until 5pm at Farnley Hall.
The pond is located opposite Farnley Hall Park on Hall Lane and is in need of attention.
Local residents recently took it upon themselves to remove debris from the pond using magnets and as reported in WLD a group had previously completed a community litter pick removing tens of bags of rubbish.
The proposed work is to be undertaken by Ebsford and includes removing silt, cutting back vegetation and to make it a more accommodating habitat for wildlife and residents to enjoy.
If you would like more information please attend the meeting on Monday at Farnley Hall.
Clarification: This article was amended 11.34pm, Friday 6 September, to clarify the clean-up is council funded, not councillor funded as first started.
it needs to be turned into a fishing pond for the kids to have something to do
