This should be considered in any similar project that seeks to restore bank that is deteriorating as a result of livestock or recreational activity. Consider where dogs or livestock will next enter the river, and consider whether the river at that point will be sensitive to the pressure. Are there any other unstable banks or important habitats such as spawning gravels that may be impacted? Consider whether fencing or formal drinking bathing points may be required. 52.035799,-0.71895003 Rob Environment Agency Clapham Bank stabilisation,,, ,,, Rob Clapham Rieke 20650 Milton Keynes Park's Trust Rob Rieke Less than 1 k€ Milton Keynes Park's Trust IMG 4832.JPG 2014-09-09Z 2456909.5 Complete Dog bathing and signal crayfish activity had significantly weakened a 30-metre section of bank on the Ouzel in Milton Keynes. Significant amounts of bank material were collapsing in to the river, contributing to deterioration of river habitats. Furthermore, there was concern that a well used footpath, adjacent to this section, was at risk of failure in the future if nothing were done to stabilize the bank. Works were jointly undertaken by the Environment Agency, Park's Trust and Volunteers to improve public safety and to prevent further deterioration of habitats. Willow logs and brash, were collected by the Park's Trust who were undertaking scheduled tree works in the area. These were secured in the channel using fence posts and steel fencing wire (see photos).
