I believe some October deadlines for the new facilities have now been pushed back which could cause problems when the team have to stop training at B&L.. A contingency may be needed for a short while

I should imagine the dry weather conditions are playing a part in that.

My son is now 26 and he stopped playing footie at home with his dad when he was about 9...so my garden is available? My nephew has played once or twice but I'm sure he would be flexible in his busy schedule for the lads :-)

Is that a gypsy site to the left of the lake? A few random vehicles in a field!

The travellers aren't there, but I hope they put in measures to stop them entering, and I don't mean locks, as they use the most powerful angle grinders to easily break them open. They churned up football and cricket pitches in Benfleet with cars and quad bikes, doing donuts, etc, and did damage at David Lloyds Eastwood and Garons putting course. So lets hope they never get in.
 
I think it's time for a Sherif master class on attenuation ponds and why they are used now. There is in fact another attenuation pond on the main site. Now when my house was built in 1912 the stormwater went straight into the sewer. When we had our extension there was debate with the water board and building inspectors about whether this was on or not. One option was the rainwater to go to a soakaway. In the end it was accepted that it could go down the same way as 110 years ago.

I think @Dorsetshrimper is wrong that it was intended for irrigation purposes as it is a flood attenuation pond, as you say. But, could it be used for irrigation too? Is there any reason why water can't be pumped from there (assuming there's enough)? That would be quite a sustainable thing to do.

Aren't they meant to be dry most of the time? Just filling up during/after rainfall to slow the flow rate into local rivers/streams

I have no idea how they work. It just seems sensible (if it's possible) that when they fill up that water get used.
 
It's a flood prevention thing, they are a buffer between excess run off (increased due to more hard surfaces after development works) during storms and the main drainage system. They can be used for irrigation too, but in this case it will be required to prevent drainage being overwhelmed if there's heavy rain.
