These new lakes were developed during 2008 by the Milton Keynes Parks Trust to help control floodwater from a nearby new housing development and to provide wetland habitat. In spring 2009 they are only slowly filling up with rainwater. The building on the horizon is the Black Horse pub on the north bank of the Grand Union Canal. You can see the notice about the development athttp://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1201517
