Wigginton Parish Council says work will soon begin on a major renovation project at Wigginton Pond.
They say the pond will be carefully restored and improved in a scheme designed to increase biodiversity and ensure it remains healthy and sustainable for many years to come.
Cllr John Gates, chair of Wigginton Parish Council, said: "We recognise how important the pond is to residents and local wildlife.
"This renovation is not just about preserving a community feature but about enhancing it so that future generations can enjoy it too.
"We’re committed to working in an environmentally responsible way and have consulted with a local specialist company and other experts to ensure the best outcomes for biodiversity.
"This project marks a positive step towards improving green spaces in Wigginton and ensuring they continue to benefit both people and nature."
