The ponds in Blaise, filled by Hazel Brook, are full of silt. SusWoT are part of a group that are looking to restore these ponds by removing it.
In Blaise there are a series of traps that should catch the silt before it gets into the ponds, but for the last 10 years at least, these traps have not been emptied.
In June work started to empty the silt traps. By the end of August with luck they will be empty so no silt will be going into the ponds.
Work can then start to remove the silt from the ponds. This will be a very big task!
