    The place is tranquil with lots of natural habitats for wildlife. It is a jewel off a council estate that will leave you speechless. The club who own the fishing rights are responsible, and maintain the banks and fishing pegs as well as protecting the fish and wildlife in and around the pond, a true gem!

    Why are the trees coming down in pioneer meadows I guess to make way for Houses. I heard the other day that the UK is chopping down more trees than any other country!
