Clearing vegetation and debris – Barkby Brook, Syston

About this Opportunity

Overview:

Clearing vegetation and debris from the brook in Syston to ensure the water can flow freely.

Organisation:

Syston Community Flood Group

Address:

Barkby Brook, Syston

LE7

Location:

Onsite

About the organisation:

Following the recent flooding issues in Syston the group was established to help identify and minimise risk of future flooding by building a good relationship with the relevant authorities and working with residents and local businesses. The areas we shall carry out voluntary works are:- *Assist Riparian Owners who may find it difficult to carry out their responsibilities *Assist in clearing vegetation, debris and silt from the brook

Full Details:

We are trying to establish a list of people to help clear vegetation and debris from the brook on an ad hoc basis. This work is actually the responsibility of the Riparian Owner but in some cases they are not able to for various reasons. It will require the removal of branches, leaves, twigs etc together with other items that have been discarded eg. hoovers, balls etc. Some works will take place on the bank, others actually in the brook. Any works in the brook will not take place until possibly summer/early autumn depending on the water level and weather.

When and Where:

The date of works cannot be fixed as it depends on the weather, water levels and when/if any work needs to be done. The amount of time you would need to give is led by yourself.
