SCUBA divers were hard at work at the weekend clearing out a pond on a Darlington housing estate.

The members of the Darlington Dolphins Scuba Diving Club were surveying and cleaning out the Brinkburn pond as part of the area's summer fair.

The fair was held to promote the improvements being made to the Brinkburn estate, especially around the pond.

A member of the Darlington Borough Council's Countryside Community Team was also at the event to talk to people from the estate and visitors about local wildlife.

Attractions included casting and fishing competitions for children and a treasure hunt.
