Public Information

Childrens Playground on Godstone Green

Godstone Wagon Pond

We are aware of the concerns about the wildlife that use the Wagon Pond, as many of you will have seen the water has all but disappeared during this hot spell.  The Wagon pond was historically for horses to stop at when passing through Godstone and not a naturally created pond, so unfortunately it is not fed by a natural water source. The pond is fed from the water that runs off the road through drains which means at certain times of the year it does not get enough water to sustain it.
 
The council have investigated filling the pond up with water but have been advised that it is not recommended for several reasons including the impact on the birds. It has also been estimated that the cost of a water load would also be around a £1000 each time, this is obviously a considerable amount of money, and it could require several top ups due to continuing hot weather and natural disbursement of water due to the base of the pond.
 
The council will not be dredging the pond due to what the base of the wagon pond is and as it could potentially cause issues such as damage to the wagon pond wall.
 
We request that people stay out of the pond area whilst there is no water in it.
