SHOCKLEADER
Phase
1
of
the
reed
management project is now
complete! Around 50% of
the main reed mass has been
removed. Although this is
slightly short of our original
target, I’m really pleased with
what’s been achieved given the
challenges faced along the way.
There’s still a fair bit of tidying
up to do, and we’ll be tackling
that as soon as possible. In
the meantime, you may notice
some spoil temporarily floating
around the lake.
The lake is open again for you
to enjoy, with the exception of
the swims currently within the
Heras fencing.
Please note that ‘Perch’ will
remain closed for now while we
take the opportunity to revamp
the swim.
A huge thank you to the
Environment
Agency
for
supporting the project with rod
licence funding, and to Digger
Boats for absolutely smashing
the job. We’re looking forward
to having you back for Phase 2!
