I had a walk on the West Shore today with my dog Marco and saw that they have started to clear the sand from the Yachting Pond. The dumper trucks were now dumping the sand below the high water mark, but as it was nearly high tide anyway that wasn't really that far out!
I had a nice conversation with a couple who frequently walk their dogs on the West Shore and as they said everything from the pond is getting dumped on the beach. That's sand,sludge,stones, rocks and probably a few cans and plastic bottles so there's not much chance of getting a Blue Flag for the beach next year!
It looks like the Welsh Water have had a dig by the White Rabbit Statue and found some metal covers, I wonder if there are any more hidden beneath the encroaching sand?
I was told that the sand in the White Rabbit pond is not getting cleared though.
