SIR,

The Council have been told on two occasions about

the risk to wildlife at the pond opposite the fire

station.

We have now lost two geese due to dog owners

allowing their dogs to run free off the lead and leaving

the gate open.

Notices need to be put up on all accesses to the pond,

also, an island needs to be put in the centre of the

pond for the wildlife to escape.

There is also a need for some kind of shelter and

bushes.

Finally, can I urge local people: Please respect the

wildlife.

A. Barnet
