DEFRA Making Space for Water - Second Public Meeting

Dear All,

A short email to thank everybody who turned up to last night meeting at the Northumbrian Piper.
It was as successful as the first meeting and it feels that our way of engaging with the public is appreciated. Here are a couple of pictures from yesterday events:

Meeting walk to look at Newcastle Great Park Cell G ponds and the future of A1 runoff remediation.










Picture taken during the evening presentations where Paul Quinn from Newcastle University and chairman of the OCSG, Richard Robinson, Agency project manager and Colin Percy from Newcastle City Council gave an update of the work done in the last six month and proposed some suggestions for the future of integrated urban drainage in the Upper Ouseburn.


The OCSG is and will remain independent and we will be more active in the next few month. Starting with a cleaning up of the Ouseburn on the 7th April and a Ouseburn sampling day on the 7th May.

Keep looking at this space, I will update it weekly and will upload more documents.

Thanks again for your support and if you would like to contribute to this blog, please contact me and I will give you the details to become a contributor.
