The council explained why the remaining fish won't be removed
Dead fish have been removed from a Mansfield pond amid the low levels of water in it as the region-wide drought continues. Mansfield District Council says that water in the pond at Berry Hill Park, off Lichfield Lane, is "extremely low" because of the weather, with the country experiencing its driest summer since 1935.
He said: "I have lived in the area since 2008 and I have never seen it so low. I understand that Mansfield District Council has removed dead fish, the geese have gone and the levels are so low that the ducks are actually standing because there isn't enough for them to float."A drought was declared across the East Midlands on Friday, August 12, with images in recent days showing how the drought has completely changed the appearance of several parks in Nottingham.
"Our parks team have been on site during the past few days, clearing the dead fish and removing the branches they can safely reach. All will be disposed of appropriately." "Some types of blue-green algae are toxic to humans and animals and it is essential that people and their pets do not come into contact with the water while the algae is in bloom. In the event of an algal bloom it is a sensible precaution for you, your children and your animals to avoid contact with the surface scum and water close to it."
