There have been several reports of children and teens playing on the frozen pond, trying to break the ice!

This is an extremely dangerous activity as the ice is not thick and stable.

The pond has filled up from the drought and whilst it might still only be 1m deep the thick sludge at the bottom and freezing cold temperature would induce shock and panic if the ice were to break and a child fall in.

If there is anyone who hasn’t seen the news in the last 24 hours to see that the consequences can be tragic, then please make sure your children are safe and aware of the dangers!
