Several new projects have been completed since 2007. It's essential that these, and the many older assets, are maintained to keep them working to capacity.

 

We're introducing this page to help us to help with this.

 

As a first step, we'll list things we know need attention.

 

We have begun preparing a schedule for systematic area-by-area survey, done by ourselves. We'll report the results to the authorities. We'll publish our schedule here so people can see how we're doing.

 

Where there is an asterisk beside the item no. there is a corresponding photograph.

 

If anyone sees an obstruction please let us know via email - description of problem and its location, photo if possible.

Willows very recently pollarded: there is an ideal chance to clear the river before new fencing is put up. See the photos to see the present situation.

 

Note: Responsibility is not always clear cut. The agency to which a report is made will sometimes turn out not to be the agency responsible for taking action.
