Cllr Morley said: “Bays and channels have been created making it clear where the inlets will be this summer and further talks covered what other improvements could be made at this stage.” On Saturday (February 18) from 10am-midday The South Pond Group will be continuing the work and preparing the area before the start of bird nesting. “All those willing to help are welcome but please wear appropriate clothing,” said Cllr Morley.
