For anyone who fishes the Bristol Avon, please have a look at the above link:
I dont know if anyone has seen the above, I only found out about this from a chap who lives in my village and is a member of the Friends of the River Bybrook.
Apparently Wessex water are currently investigating increasing abstraction from the Bristol Avon and tribs. I am planning to attaend a meeting on Thursday if I can, in relation to the below:
Wessex Water are proposing to treble their licensed Water abstraction for Stream Support in Malmsbury, which could possibly have an unwelcome effect on water levels in the Bybrook, and affect us all and our local wildlife. Professor Peter Smart will present his final report which was commissioned by the Environment Agency in connection with the above. Two representatives from the Environment Agency will attend this meeting and possibly Luke Devial from Wessex Water
I just thought I'd bring attention to this as I dont want it to happen without anglers knowing about it. Have a look on the website and I will send an update if I manage to attend the meeting.
