Clean up at Hesleden Pond

A couple of weeks ago, following a request from a resident, we contacted the parks and countryside team to ask them to inspect the pond on the walkway at Hesleden and arrange a clean up where required.

Earlier this week we received the following response to our query:

Chris passed on the information you provided from the residents at Hesleden regarding the pond adjacent to the Hart to Haswell Railway Path a few weeks ago. Sorry it has taken so long to get around to this, but the Ranger for that particular line is off at the moment. 

I have been out today and inspected the area, and found it not to be in too much of a mess. There were no issues with the small platform there, however there was some litter actually in and around the pond. Therefore, I got the wellies on and collected a couple of bags of litter from that pond and the one further back up the line just past the next crossing. 

Hopefully this resolves the concerns, but if you have any further queries or information to pass on, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
