Councillor's grant makes a splash at Shenley Pond
A councillor's grant is making a splash after he donated cash to revamp Shenley Pond.
The £1,400 donated by Councillor John Usher will pay for new benches around the pond, situated near Cowley Hill.
Redevelopment work began earlier this year, with workers dredging and de-stilting the historic landmark.
The pond dates back to Roman times, but in the 18th century the cage was built beside the pond, used as a holding cell for prisoners on their way to court in Barnet or St Albans.

All for the revamp as well but, could someone donate to rat 678 as they may benefit from some further education at the Jewish school they wish to help.
Shenley Parish Council could help but they wont. .

Why do the repoerts get there facts right before publishing the artice.Cllr usher should have given his money for traffic light along the road by the Jewish School. not to a pond venture that the children will put there names on the seats.
