DOWNSTREAM DEFENDER.
A new 3 metre Plastic Downstream Defender III System and access chamber is currently being installed onto an existing surface water drain next to Roehampton Cafe Car Park. Due for completion in August 2017, it will then prevent contaminated road-derived sediment from reaching the Beverley Brook.
The work is part of an on-going partnership project between The Royal Parks, The Friends of Richmond Park, the South East Rivers Trust, the Environment Agency and sponsors Coca Cola, which aims to improve the quality of the water and enhance the Beverley Brook and the species that rely on this watercourse.
