Future proofing
Being a site of special scientific interest, the Morden is an important river for salmon and sea trout. Weirs often present a barrier to fish migration, even with a fish pass and we will be discussing the management of the stream and alternative options rather than a similar structure with partners such as the Environment Agency.
We will also look further upstream to see if there are any ways that we can slow the flow of the river so future storm events have less impact on our structures, as well as improve the natural wildlife habitats and improve water quality.
Walking around the weir
Over the last few months we have loved hearing why the weir is special to you. All the paths leading to and from the weir are open for you to enjoy. Following works, the bridge over the weir has now reopened.
