Purpose
It is proposed to restore a 3km stretch of
river in the upper Salmons Brook valley between Stagg Hill and
Hadley Road to a more natural state. This involves the reconnection
of the river to its floodplain and the creation of ponds and
wetlands within the valley. The project will help store water
during extreme storm events, benefitting thousands of residents
downstream. The works are part of the wider initiative to restore
natural landscapes within Enfield Chase.
