We have conducted an inspection and have issued guidelines to tenants with plots bordering the river which have unacceptable accumulations of debris and rubbish within a 5m ‘exclusion zone’ of the river bank.
From May onwards we will be providing a series of skips and agreeing timescales with tenants to remove rubbish, particularly plastics, metal and rotten wood.
We are aware of initiatives by various organisations and bodies who are also targeting this important element of our environment.
