Blue-green algae is a naturally occurring organism which is more common in ponds during hot weather. The algae can produce toxins which may be harmful to animals and cause rashes and illness in people.

Derbyshire County Council said it is working with the Environment Agency and Carr Vale Angling Club to understand the problem and install signage to warn visitors.
