'Very angry' Leeds woman jumps into 'filthy' pond to remove 'hideous' doll, wheelie bin and traffic cones

A “very angry” Leeds woman decided to jump into her local fishpond to remove all the foul rubbish people had chucked in there, including a 'hideous' doll.

Amanda Murray Hind, 51, tied a rope around her waist and waded “up to her neck” into Farnley Hall Fish Pond, off Butt Lane. Her husband Paul Hind, 58, held on to the other end of the rope on Saturday, April 1.

The couple had become “distressed” at constantly seeing the once beautiful nature reserve become neglected so badly. They found numerous foul and “unnerving" items in the depths of the pond.
