	The River Can is at a Poor Ecological Status and is not meeting WFD objectives for Fish, invertebrates and Macrophytes. Restoring and reconnecting the historic mill channel into the river will create addition habitat. Surface water from the adjacent urban area also discharges into the mill channel. Leaky dams installed in the mill channel will slow the surface water down, allowing any sediment to settle out and filtering any pollution, thus improving water quality. The mouth of the channel has been widened and de-silted. Better connecting the back channel habitat and refuge from both high flows and predators for fish. Warm shallow areas have also been created. which are ideal habitat for fish fry.
