Algae worries
CONCERNS about algae at Stockton Heath beauty spot Ackers Pit have been dispelled.
Coun Marilyn Timmins told the parish council that she was concerned that algae had appeared on the surface of the water. But clerk Peter Briggs said the problem also occurred last year when the sun was shining on the surface. But it disappeared when the weather changed and it rained.
