Project summary
Removal of three weir structures, removal of concrete bank and bed protection works. The river is in a semi-natural state though concrete bank protection works have been undertaken in the past and the river bed has also been lined with concrete in places. Three concrete flumes (same as those stupidly put in Harrow Lodge Park) break to continuity of the river and probably are to deal with the change of plan form gradient.
Manholes were observed in close proximity to the watercourse, possibly indicating a sewer pipe. However, huge gains could be made within the confines of this space, although it may be that bank reprofiling would have to be adapted. Works to the left bank are constrained due to it being owned by numerous different people whose properties abut the watercourse. It is unclear if this has always been the case or whether land take has taken place over the years.
