Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.


Options for removal or modification/lowering to increase fish passage and create intertidal habitat upstream. Lewisham College half tide weirs at top of Deptford Creek. Concrete raised channel above, intertidal mudflat of creek below. Barrier to fish migration at low states of tide and overtops at high water.
Need to confirm funding to progress project
