| Setting out the nets to catch thousands of fish at risk from silted water and rotting leaves |

Decaying leaves were depriving the water of vital oxygen, threatening several species of fish.
The Environment Agency advised anglers and the borough council working to save more than 4,000 fish and restore the ponds to a healthier condition.
