The Crammer pond in Devizes, Wiltshire is drying up due to the hot weather and lack of rainfall.

the pond is fed by rainfall and road runoff, not a stream or spring, making it vulnerable to dry spells.
Local Councillor Iain Wallis says the council is seeking advice on how to help the fish.
The pond’s condition is compared to the drought of 1976. Local fire teams have previously helped fill the pond, but are currently busy with fires.
* Most people believe the pond will recover with rainfall and aren’t overly concerned about the wildlife.
