Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

Aiming to encourage the River Brent back along the original channel route through Brent Lodge Park.

Aim of scheme:
- enhancement of tidal defences
- conservation enhancements
- recreation provision
Work undertaken:
- cleaning up of existing foreshore
- creation of new shingle beach
- attachment of horizontal and vertical timbers to promote algal growth
- reed planting in Bullhead dock
- reducing size of jetty increasing direct light to the foreshore

Neale Hider: 07/01/2009 “The Brent Lodge Park river restoration is more like an improvement after our consultation with Jacobs. We cannot reinstate the double meander (original course) as originally planned due to the contaminated waste that it had been back filled with. Instead we have outlined a different course for the meander to run (and break the river away from its current straight path) while retaining the old channel as a backwater/flood relief channel.”
