Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

Previous site use/issues

• Nature area owned by LB Newham (little known/used by local people)
• No access for wheelchairs
• Limited access points adding to ‘fear of crime’
• Ecologically and historically valuable site but no information for site users reed buting have been seen in the reeds adjacent to the site
• Lack of seating areas within site for users/local school groups

Monitoring surveys and results

Edit project overview to modify the Monitoring survey and results.

Enhancements

• Enhanced planting within site including black poplars
• Creation of riverside seating/viewing area
• Provision of site wildlife and historical information boards
• New wheelchair friendly site entrance and access route
• Interpretation boards installed by just ecology
