WALKING past Central Park's main lake at Wallasey when it must be 80 degrees in the shade I saw there were carp, tench and other species are dying through lack of oxygen.

Further along I come to two old fenced-off cesspits - that the council likes to call "ponds."

If anyone has been downwind of these two "ponds" then they will know that the smell from them is putrid and sickening.

Then, at the old site of where Liscard Hall used to be located, to my utter disbelief I find there has been yet another meaningless statue unveiled.

The point I am making is this: how can the council find funding for these so-called works of art when we are again witnessing an ecological disaster happening in the park lakes?

Why can't they use that funding instead to set up a low-cost solar panel aeration system, especially for the main lake?

The whole situation is ludicrous.
