Project summary
Develop a better entrance way into the park linked to the River Shuttle walk, including new bridge over the river itself
Enhance river marginal plant diversity
Improve the woodland management
Provide new play equipment for children
Wetland creation The River Shuttle runs in a straightened channel through Parish Wood Park, a small park on the Bexley/Greenwich border. The river has good form but has a monoculture marginal plant community. A new wetland will provide a new type of habitat for the Shuttle corridor.
Monitoring surveys and results
Post-project Appraisal
Lessons learnt
Pass is made from GRP, due to theft risk in an open urban area. Lower section of pass was broken off, probably by a large log, meaning the pass is not functioning at present (August 2013).
