The Wandle in this location has sections of good marginal vegetation with other sections which remain over-shaded and degraded with toe boarding. The Wandle Valley wetlands are a section of land on the bed of the river which could be enhanced with the creation of interlinked wetland areas, acting as backwaters to the Wandle. This would have multiple benefits, particularly with regard to fisheries in times of poor water quality and would create additional habitat to support water voles.
