Kelly Barber: Burwood council candidate on water in Christchurch pond turning lime green - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Christchurch locals are upset a suburban lake has turned lime-green.

Water in the pond at Te Korari and Te Rito Streets is covered with a bright green film, but the council has no plans to get rid of it.

Residents have now asked local representatives to look into it.

Burwood council candidate Kelly Barber told Heather Du Plessis-Allan the lake's condition has deteriorated over the last few years.
