  • Black Country Urban Park Barometer
    3333333 Black Country Urban Park Barometer April 2013 DRAFT WORK IN PROGRESS Welcome to the Black Country Urban Park Barometer. Transformation of the Environmental Infrastructure is one of the key to drivers identified in the Black Country Strategy for Growth and Competitiveness. The full report looks at the six themes created under the ‘Urban Park’ theme and provides a spatial picture of that theme accompanied with the key assets and opportunities for that theme. Foreword to be provided by Roger Lawrence The Strategic Context Quality of the Black Country environment is one of the four primary objectives of the Black Country Vision that has driven the preparation of the Black Country Strategy for Growth and Competitiveness through the Black Country Study process. The environment is critical to the health and well-being of future residents, workers and visitors to the Black Country. It is also both a major contributor to, and measure of, wider goals for sustainable development and living as well as being significantly important to the economy of the region. The importance and the desire for transforming the Black Country environment has been reinforced through the evidence gathering and analysis of the Black Country Study process as both an aspiration in its own right and as a necessity to achieve economic prosperity. Evidence from the Economic and Housing Studies concluded that ‘the creation of new environments will be crucial for attracting investment from high value-added firms’ and similarly that ‘a high quality healthy environment is a priority for ‘knowledge workers’. The Economic Strategy puts ‘Environmental Transformation’ alongside Education & Skills as the fundamental driver to achieve Black Country economic renaissance and prosperity for its people.

  • Advisory Visit Smestow Brook, Wolverhampton July 2019
    Advisory Visit Smestow Brook, Wolverhampton July 2019 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust to the Smestow Brook, Wolverhampton on 29th July, 2019. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Tarun Ingvorsen (Salmon in the Stour Project Officer) and Natalie Norton (Site Manager, Smestow Valley LNR) of Birmingham and Black Country Wildlife Trust (BBCWT). Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 2.0 Catchment Overview The Smestow Brook is a tributary of the River Stour in the catchment of the River Severn. The Brook rises in the city of Wolverhampton and flows south, generally parallel to the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, for approximately 12 miles to join the Stour near Stourton. The industrial history of the region has left its mark on the River Stour and its tributaries both through physical modification of the channel and pollution. The Stour catchment is the focus of the ‘Salmon in the Stour’ project led by BBCWT in partnership with the Environment Agency (EA), Worcestershire Wildlife Trust and Severn Rivers Trust (www.bbcwildlife.org.uk/salmoninthestour). The upper catchment of the Smestow Brook is located in an urbanised area and is designated as a heavily modified waterbody under the Water Framework Directive (Table 1), and has an overall ecological potential of moderate. It is currently rated as failing for the specific pollutants nickel and its compounds and tributyltin compounds.

This merger results in a more comprehensive approach to the protection and management of the environment by combining many aspects of the regulation of land, air and water. It also provides a single point of contact for its customers. Catchment Management Plans were used by the former NRA to manage the water environment in an integrated way. The plans take a particular river catchment, identify different uses and activities within the area and highlight the problems and issues that need to be resolved. The objective is to work towards a healthy and diverse water environment managed in an environmentally sustainable way, balancing the needs of all users of water.
