Courtesy of Atkins. KENTCHURCHWEIR1.jpg Complete In 2008, EA Wales and Atkins completed a project to install a fish pass at Osbaston, downstream of Kentchurch Weir - to improve fish passage upstream. However, the 2 metre high Kentchurch Weir posed as a significant and impassable barrier to fish passage further upstream. A £100,000, 18 month-long project was undertaken, beginning in 2008, to remove this structure and open up the upper reaches of the Monnow.
