Great Dunmow Town Council is committed to keeping residents informed and updated regarding the ongoing works to desilt and repair the Doctors Pond.

Unfortunately during these essential works, the contractor`s excavator has sunk and become embedded in the silt.

We wish to reassure residents that every effort is being made to resolve the situation as quickly and safely as possible.

Experts are scheduled to attend the site tomorrow to assess the situation and prioritise the safe removal of the excavator.

The safety of all personnel involved and the preservation of the surrounding environment remain our top priorities. The Town Council is working closely with contractors and specialists to
minimise any potential disruptions.

We understand the concerns that this may raise and would like to thank residents for their patience and understanding while we address this unexpected development.

Further updates will be provided as soon as new information becomes available.
