Affinity Water tree works along the Mill End Loop
Affinity Water will be carrying out tree works along the Mill End Loop where the river runs parallel with Springwell Lake. The works will commence on Monday 19th August and will continue for the next 4 to 6 weeks. For those that know this section of river, will have noticed that trees aligning both banks have in places encroached across the entire river channel. These tree works aim to reduce the amount of shade imposed on the river to encourage aquatic vegetational growth, whilst conveying flows more effectively to restore chalk stream characteristics. The works being completed are creating more resilient rivers and improving habitats for the wildlife that also love chalk streams. If you would like to discuss in more detail, please contact George Horne by mailing river.restoration@affinitywater.co.uk.
Below is a map showing the extent of the works marked with a red line.
