Sustrans carries out urgent flood works along brook

September 26, 2017 by Julian

You may have noticed some work being carried out along the Fallowfield Loop, just west of Wellington Road bridge.
Manchester City Council’s Flood team has issued an urgent notice to Sustrans to clear Fallowfield Brook. This requires removal of undergrowth along the banks for about 100m, dredging the stream to clear soil that has gradually washed into the watercourse and pulling this up onto each embankment using a digger. Some trees growing out of the bank and impeding flow will also have to be felled.
Three of the small orchard trees will need to be relocated a short distance, but this will happen when they are dormant.
The Friends of the Fallowfield Loop met with Sustrans today and discussed plans for future planting in the area after the works are complete. We will update you with details as soon as we have more information.  Information about the work is also on Sustrans North West’s Facebook page.
