Pond in need of protection and care

Residents on North Aldershot Road have a beautiful natural pond on their road.  It should be a haven for wildlife and birds.  

When I took this shot in late afternoon it was beautiful.  As long as you didn't look too closely.  

This pond has been a dumping ground for a wide variety of unwanted things, up to and including a motor bike.  

Residents say they don't receive the help or attention required when it is used as a "dumping pond." That's why they routinely haul things out of this pond themselves.

Would a monitoring device help detect and/or prevent this form of illegal dumping?  And what can be done to restore the pond to better health?  Two questions a councillor can help answer in a bid to find a solution to this ongoing problem.
