Today I visited Redleaf Pool below the council, the current area that I am focusing my Make a difference Challenge on. While I was there I looked around for any evidence of the stormwater drains but to no avail. I walked all around the area but I couldn't find any evidence of storm water drains. However I know that there are some around because of an exerpt of the council information page on Red leaf saying not to go swimming in Red leaf up to 3 days after heavy rain due to pollution from storm water drains. My next idea is to ring the council up and enquire as to where I can find them .
So far I have failed to visit Red leaf Pool and so have not finished getting informed. So the next thing I have to do is to visit Red leaf and located the storm water drains and weather they have metal grilles covering them yet. If they do then I will have to come up with a different way to clean up Red leaf. However if they don’t then I will proceed as I have planned and request that they attach the metal grilles. It may be that the metal grilles are failing to work and if that is the case then I will ask the council to fix them so that there is no more rubbish in Red leaf.

The next part of my MDC is to take action. I am taking action by contacting my local council. Below is the first draft of the E-mail that i plan to send as soon as I get it checked, get the E-mail adress.
Dear Sir or Madam
My name is Thomas Gibson and I am in year 6 at Cranbrook Junior School. This semester we have been doing a ‘make a difference’ challenge. My MDC is to keep rubbish out of Red leaf pool after rain or storms. It has come to my attention that after rain Red leaf pool becomes filled with rubbish, possibly from storm water drains. If this is the cause of the problem then my solution is to put a metal grille over the storm water drains that can be opened and shut. After the rain someone from the council can come down and collect the rubbish that the grille has kept from going into the water. If the storm water drains are not the reason for the ‘rubbish in Red leaf’ then please contact me.
Sincerely,
Thomas Gibson
