Action for the River Kennet (ARK) group and the Environment Agency seek views on protecting the Kennet

The Action for the River Kennet (ARK) group and the Environment Agency are asking people to tell them about any issues they feel degrade the water’s ecology. This could be pollutants, river morphology, drainage, artificial or natural barriers to the flow of the water.

ARK have identified a number of problems including the erosion of river banks, drains washing rubbish or pollutants into the river and invasive species that encroach on the natural habitat.

People have until the end of this month to give their views. They need to click on the website http://kennetcatchment.org.catchment/lower-kennet and select the part of the river they wish to comment on
