The Kingfisher Project has been four years in the making. Starting with concerns raised by residents about the poor state of the brook and surrounding area, to achieving communications with agencies, schools and other residents and finally setting up a resident led management group.
The aims have always been to improve the quality of the drainage of the water and the surrounding environment whilst having an awareness and understanding of the sensitive eco-system.
It has always been recognised that none of this would be sustainable without the direct involvement of the local community.

Keen resident interest has been maintained by updating events surrounding the progress of the project at every Resident Association meeting and getting residents themselves involved in litter picks, flyers and spreading of information by word of mouth.
Schools have been visited and talks given to pupils on the environmental and ecological aspects of the project.
The project is now well under way, managed by local residents with a structured time plan.
On completion of the main priorities the residents aim to create a community garden which will be maintained by themselves. Expected timeline for the project is estimated currently at 3 years.
