Front Garden Pond Safety

Cytania
16 years ago

I have no children. I was considering a pond in the front garden (which is larger than the back) so why then does everyone I mention it to bring up the risk of neighbourhood kids drowning in it? It's as if every time a tree is planted concerned people worried about children falling fatally from the branches as they climb it. Surely in both cases it's a trespass followed by dangerous actions unencouraged by the householder.

PS. I know there are grids that can make ponds child safe but they are unsightly which for me cancels out the pond's reason for being.
