Grangefield watercourse redevelopment

Description

The banks of the watercourse in The Grange Field, Grangefield Approach, Bishop's Cleeve, are in parts slipping due to the poor ground conditions, with wet weather exacerbating the situation. In order to address this and prevent the situation deteriorating, options of remediation have been explored. The preferred solution is to in essence dispense with the existing watercourse and divert a new channel into The Grange Field (which is public open space owned and maintained by Tewkesbury Borough Council). This offers opportunity for improvement, maintenance and repair of that watercourse. The project is being delivered in partnership with Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust and the Environment Agency. Attention is drawn to the Council's strategies and policies found at the following website: https://www.tewkesbury.gov.uk/strategies-and-policies/?rq=policy not least of which those surrounding the environment.
