The Blue Lagoon is a former brick works site that opened in 1929. The clay pits on the site flooded in 1947, and later they were filled and landscaped. The site officially opened in 1994 to the public.
The Blue Lagoon covers 116 acres and is rich in wildlife. You might see: Badgers Bats Grass snakes Great crested newts butterflies, damselflies and dragonflies And over a dozen bird species.
There is constant footfall at The Blue Lagoon from a number of users including dog walkers, divers, open water swimmers and those who just want some time out and enjoy the fauna and flora. There are some issues with littering especially over the summer months so local residents hold regular litter picks and walks around the nature reserve.

This would give them the legal powers to issue a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) to drivers who contravene certain types of parking and traffic offences at specified locations by using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras.
MKCC has identified sites where they could start to implement these proposals and we'd like to hear your views on issues like obstructive parking outside schools and on footways.
