National Trust Sherborne Brook Restoration update

Following community and riparian landowner feedback, a workshop was held (9 July) including the Parish Council, JBA consultants, relevant riparian owners, and representatives of the Sherborne Brook Support Group. The meeting included a site visit to the residential property most likely to be affected by any increase in water level (a key dependency of the scheme) resulting from the NT’s proposed scheme.

The notes of the meeting and community Q&A were copied to the NT on 15 July and are included here National Trust Brook Restoration – Sherborne Parish Council.

The Council hopes the NT will take account of the community’s concerns and positive suggestions as to how the proposed scheme could be improved. The NT’s response to the notes and Q&A will be posted here as soon as they are received.
