Castle Pond Pembroke

This is Castle Pond, constrained by a barrage, now freshwater, previously salt, marginaly usable at the upper end of coliform count. Until a year ago managed by total weedkiller by PCC. Of no conservation value . The constant water level negates the flood prevention measures recently undertaken on the Commons by PCC. If there is a rise in water in the stream the barrage gates have to be opened so that the commons do not flood, who does that in the middle of the night, at the very first deluge the Commons flooded.
