Cardiff Council has issued a warning to members of the public as teams were sent out to break up ice at a popular park. Council workers have recently been seen breaking up ice on Roath Park Lake using poles and spades.
The council has since taken to social media to warn people of the dangers of ice and frozen water. A social media post from the authority reads: "Our teams have been out breaking up the ice on Roath Park lake.
"Ice and frozen water can be incredibly dangerous – children and pets are particularly at risk. Please advise children of the dangers and keep pets on leads at all times when near frozen water. If you see people or animals at risk please call 999 and ask for the emergency services."
