Feedback closes 19 October 2018.
Daylighting returns the piped watercourse to its natural state, allowing improved habitat, food source and nesting opportunities for animals.
Daylighting would result in a change to the amenity of the reserve; the current grassed space would be reshaped, as shown in the attached booklet. The margins of the new stream would be planted, and we are considering recreational options for the upper area.
The existing loop path and fitness equipment would remain in place, and broken sections of path in this area would be repaired. There may not be budget to deliver the full suite of recreational options shown in the stream daylighting sketch, and so we would like your input on which are the most important.
