Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.


Flood plain restoration is progressing (NGR: TQ5283586428).
Proposed works:
- Deculverting at downstream end at lakes, removing concrete
- Removal of lido steps
The Ravensbourne has been heavily modified, the downstream section deculverted. It runs through the middle of the park and is the main feature. It’s currently an eyesore and parts of it provide very little habitat for wildlife. The project is listed on the Green Grid list. The GLA support this project and contributed to the funding for the scoping report.
