Village Pond Update
Chalfont St Giles Parish Council is very pleased to see that the groundwater levels are beginning to recede, although the groundwater is still approximately one meter above the average level for this time of year.
The Council have sought a second opinion on the issues with the pond and as a result the pond contractor has been instructed to reset the pond liner and one way valves as well as adding additional ballast to the liner. To do this, the pond will need to be fenced off and the pond emptied.
The Parish Council have decided to delay the proposed works until September, after the village show. This will allow the groundwater to recede further, making the pond easier to empty. It will also allow the pond area to remain open during the summer months and importantly during the Best Kept Village judging period.
The pond level will be topped up during this period.
If you have any further questions about the pond please email: clerk@chalfontstgiles-pc.gov.uk
