The Dipping pond by New Road, Tankersley is something that is undergoing a facelift.
Please let us know your thoughts on the project using the comments box at the bottom of the post.
There is a bit of history here, and a phantom newt somewhere, maybe or maybe not..
Either way a group of willing souls are in the process of restoring this area to it’s previously glory. To be honest it looks like it is having a bit of a bad hair day just now, but what a difference there will be come springtime.
This is how it looked in September 2019:
In October we had a wee meeting, and unbridled enthusiasm took over and battle commenced
November 2019
More effort required, to remove brambles, more brambles and invasive grass.
If there are newts, this will make a better environment. If there are no newts, these improvements may encourage them. At the end of the day, it looks great. Thanks guys n gals
