Is there any way that some of the boards members could please do something about the Lilly’s fed up of losing fish, half the pond is unfishable because of the Lilly’s. Please can you try and get it sorted

Re: Uckinghall lillys
Hi Mat
we visited Uckinhall on the 7th of June. The team strimmed all around the pool and removed over hanging branches to make the pegs more fish-able, we also spent the day raking most of the car park pegs but i can total understand that most of that side of the pool is covered by lilliy pads.
just want to give you some information on this plant.
Lily pads offer many benefits to pond ecosystems. As we mentioned, their large leaves provide shade and protection for fish from the hot sun and predators. The roots of water lilies also help to keep ponds clean by absorbing excess nutrients that would otherwise lead to excessive algae growth.
I will have a look at a solution in the next few years on reducing some of the Lilly growth i hope you understand its not top of our priority list. That being said it has been a topic of conversation from our management team. so it hasn't been a forgot pool.
Thanks Craig.

Re: Uckinghall lillys
Hi thanks for reply, I gather that it’s good for the fish to have a some shade and algae growth but if you you just take a two meter strip out on each peg then at least it gives people a chance to fish the swims on all the swims and that way your still keeping the Lilly’s in between the swims for the fish to shade in
