Description

The river Doe Lea has suffered a lot with the industrial legacy of north Derbyshire & north Nottinghamshire, particularly from mining and the rapid expansion of communities to serve the mines and other industry. Significant effort has been invested in the last 40 years in cleaning up the river, but there remains a lot to do.

Through the Don, Dearne & Rother Network catchment partnership, interested parties have been meeting to share their plans and ambitions for the catchment. It is clear to these parties that there are significant opportunities for partnership working on a catchment scale to expand the scope of intervention and deliver real positive changes to the river environment and the wider catchment.

To inform the work above, the partners have secured funding through the Water Restoration Fund to develop an Environmental Framework for the Doe Lea Valley and to develop an Action Plan for the delivery of a first trial phase. On behalf of the partners, the Chesterfield Canal Trust is now seeking consultants to deliver this work.

Further work may be commissioned at a later date to monitor and evaluate the success of interventions and to refine and develop the Action Plan for future phases, subject to future funding and endorsement by the partners.

The details of this phase of the work and the tender administration process are set out in full in the attached Project Brief, or by contacting the Chesterfield Canal Trust Development Manager, George Rogers, development@chesterfield-canal-trust.org.uk
