Kirkham Weir and Sluices Options Appraisal Project update

Kirkham Weir and Sluices Options Appraisal Project update

The Environment Agency has now considered a wide range of options and has taken local residents’ views into account as well as specialist advice. The overall conclusion was that they should make it easier for fish to get up and down the river and should also lower the weir “to a level yet to be determined”. To help them decide what to do, they will need to carry out further studies over the next few months. They will get back in touch with the community engagement group before a final decision is taken.

 For further details, look at the EA’s presentation and draft notes of the April meeting.
