There are several of these signs around Ham Pond which I find silly for several reasons.
They are very small. Being this small they have almost no impact and are easily missed.
They are in the wrong place. You have to be right by the pond to read that you should have your dog on a lead by which time it is too late.
They are confusing. They start with "Please" which implies that this is a request and end with the possibility of a fine implying this is an instruction. It cannot be both. It also says "ponds" when, clearly, there is only one pond.
There should be a dog-free zone for some distance around the pond with clear signage. Anything less than that is pointless.
