	The brook ~~is being~~ moved from the existing heavily modified and shaded channel into a more natural course.

The brook was moved from the existing heavily modified and shaded channel into a more natural course. Brook length has been increased with the introduction of meanders along with shallower, soft banks and variation in flow and bed conditions. We aim to improve water quality through the planting of marginal vegetation and the creation of a reed bed at the outfall of a surface water sewer.

	With the material produced from the channel excavations, a shallow bund has been constructed to retain flood waters within the park in order to help reduce flooding of downstream properties.		With the material produced from the channel excavations, a shallow bund has been constructed to retain flood waters within the park in order to help reduce flooding of downstream properties.

	In an effort to raise awareness of the watercourse and to create a more attractive park environment, 2 new bridges ~~will~~ take an existing path over the new brook channel.		In an effort to raise awareness of the watercourse and to create a more attractive park environment, 2 new bridges now take an existing path over the new brook channel.

	This part of the brook is one of the few sections not within a culvert as it flows through Gedling Borough. ~~Beyond this section~~ the brook ~~continues to flow~~ within a heavily modified channel and the entire length is subject to pollution from diffuse, urban sources.		This part of the brook is one of the few sections not within a culvert as it flows through Gedling Borough. Downstream the brook mostly flows within a heavily modified channel and the entire length is subject to pollution from diffuse, urban sources.
