National Trust Sherborne Brook Restoration

/in /by

During June (7th & 11th) the National Trust (NT) hosted two community briefing sessions designed to inform attendees of the Trust’s plans to create a new formal wetland habitat approximately 100 meters east of Waterloo Bridge.

Both sessions were well attended, and the Parish Council would like to thank the hosts for their efforts in communicating the plans and answering the many questions posed by attendees.

Publication of details follows an extensive period of NT led stakeholder consultation including the NT’s own advisors, Historic England, the Environment Agency, and the Gardens Trust. Others too. The scheme has been designed by technical consultants JBA. The briefing sessions were the community’s first opportunity to review the plans and provide feedback.

Following community and riparian landowner feedback, the NT have agreed to host a workshop (July 9th) including the Parish Council, JBA consultants, relevant riparian owners, and representatives of the Sherborne Brook Support Group.

In the meantime, if you have specific questions you would like to be addressed by the NT, please email clerk@sherborneparish.org by the end of day Monday the 7th. Questions will be anonymised, and personal data will not be shared.
