A total of £370,000 will be spent on the restoration project. A conservation group, the Friends of Porter Valley, has been lobbying for change for years. Sheffield City Council has recently approved the initiative. Local wildlife should benefit as a result of the decision.
It was back in 2011 that a masterplan for the area was first commissioned. Since then, the public has been consulted on the local vision that has emerged from all the hard work. Brochure printing can be useful for engaging with visitors.
David Young, project leader and the treasurer of the conservation group, told The Star:
“It’s a wonderful place for the wildlife and there have been incidences of water voles but they’re not here anymore sadly. In our scheme we want to make it such that the environment can come back.”
Thousands of cubic metres of silt will be removed as part of the project and Endcliffe Park will be changed significantly by this move. A contractor will employ the treated silt as material for landscaping.
To supplement this plan, a wall is going to be installed to span the pond. This barrier will be submerged and semi-porous. The hope is that water will pass through the channel that is produced. As a consequence of the innovation, the river should not deposit as much silt as it once did.Get a Free Quote for Brochures Get a Free Quote for Plans
