Update on the OCSG

Hello All,

A quick update to let you know that the OCSG is still active as we have received more funding from the DEFRA, part of the Making Space for Water project. We will host in the next couple of weeks an evening meeting to discuss our current activities and the plan for the next twelve months for the OCSG.
We are currently working with the Environment Agency on a Flood Levy project in the upper Ouseburn, looking at diverting some of the high flows of the Ouseburn to some existing pond, this pond will be linked to the large Cell I pond in order to remove some of the sediments and improve the water quality of the river. We are also working on an action delivery plan for 2009. All of this plus the recent flooding in the Ouseburn and the lower Ouseburn will be discussed in our next meeting.
I will email everybody in a couple of weeks when the meeting date is finalised.
See you all very soon,
Sebastien
