Last week councillors and helpers carried out the second in our three-year treatment scheme for Boughton Pond. This  was an application of a chalk-based product to encourage microbes in the water to digest the silt lying at the bottom.

Read more about this in February’s edition of Stoke Ferry Village Pump available at several locations locally including Thomas Bonnet in Stoke. https://www.facebook.com/YourVillagePump/

Thanks to Roger Warner for the loan of the punt, his daughter Claire for paddling, Richard Johnston for distributing, Geoff Proctor for barn storage and Cllr Tam Payne for organising and lifting equipment.

Cllr Neil Matthew
Chair, Boughton Parish Council
