Whilst I agree that councils are generally batshit crazy (trust me, I was a councillor) and that this is a ridiculous solution- the thing about the ecosystem may actually be fur realz. They stocked the pond 20 years ago with fish - what's the betting they didn't give a huge amount of thought at the time to choosing fish that would complement a solid pond eco system rather than simply dominate the fuck out of it?
