The presentation of all monitoring features into these catchment maps will assist in developing an integrated approach to catchment management and operation. The water quality monitoring maps and index were originally incorporated into the Catchment Action Plans. They provide a visual presentation of monitored sites within a catchment and enable water quality data to be accessed easily by all departments and external organisations. The maps bring together information from different sections within Water Quality. The routine river monitoring and tidal water monitoring points, the licensed waste disposal sites and the monitored effluent discharges (pic, non-plc, fish farms, COPA Variation Order [non-plc and pic]) are plotted. The type of discharge is identified such as sewage effluent, dairy factory, etc. Additionally, river impact and control sites are indicated for significant effluent discharges. If the watercourse is not sampled then the location symbol is qualified by (*). Additional details give the type of monitoring undertaken at sites (ie chemical, biological and algological) and whether they are analysed for more specialised substances as required by: a. EC Dangerous Substances Directive b. EC Freshwater Fish Water Quality Directive c. DOE Harmonised Monitoring Scheme d. DOE Red List Reduction Programme c.

  • The Grand Western Canal in Halberton
    THE GRAND WESTERN CANAL IN HALBERTON Halberton Cut from Greenway Bridge, looking east Introduction The purpose of this leaflet is to outline the history of the length of the Grand Western Canal that crosses Halberton parish1. Let’s start with two facts: First, about forty percent of the navigable length of the Grand Western Canal is located within the boundaries of Halberton parish. Second, the canal has rather a lot of bends in it. As we know it today, the Grand Western Canal runs for just over 11 miles from the canal basin at Tiverton to Lodwells (near Holcombe Rogus, Somerset) where the water comes to an abrupt end at what was once a set of lock gates. En route from one end to the other the canal snakes its way through the parish of Halberton from the boundary with Tiverton at Manley Bridge in the west to the boundary with Sampford Peverell in the east2. As the crow flies the distance between those two points is about 2 ½ miles (4 kilometres) but the distance along the towpath is far more than that, totalling about 4 ¼ miles (6 ¾ kilometres). The master plan The year was 1794. An engineer named John Rennie presented his master plan for the Grand Western Canal to a select committee drawn from a group of men who were prepared to put their hands in their pockets to finance the building of it. Rennie’s proposal was logical enough; in order to ease the passage of cargo from Bristol and South Wales to the ports along the south coast of England his plan was to build a canal linking Topsham on the River Exe with Taunton where it would join the Tone Navigation and then link to the Bristol Channel via Bridgwater.

    PARISH NEWS The magazine for Burlescombe & Westleigh Hockworthy Holcombe Rogus MAY 2020 50p Put Out the Lights The hour is late. The sun has sailed away. The rising moon is tangled in the trees. A ghostly iridescence lights the bay and lazy leaves are sighing in the breeze. A small boat heading west inscribes its wake: night fishermen, just under way from port. Six hours from now, tomorrow’s dawn will break with tales of what’s been lost and what’s been caught. For us, the day is done: it’s time for bed. Let’s climb the wooden hill, exchange goodnights and snuggle down; give Morpheus his head. I’ll draw the curtains. You put out the lights. Jeff Vinter The Blue Anchor Hotel at the east end of the promenade at the Somerset seaside village of Blue Anchor is closed now, seemingly the victim of dithering and indecision by a range of agencies including insurance companies, local authorities and the Environment Agency. Basically, it is falling into the sea. For over a decade, large gabions lined the promenade road, but they were never deployed to stabilise the hotel. Thus, another village pub closed and another rural community was impoverished by a reduction in its facilities. My wife and I spent many happy evenings at The Blue Anchor, including with our children when they were young in the well-appointed garden, where a large wooden galleon provided wonderful opportunities for imaginative play. We count ourselves lucky to have watched the sun set often from this place, in all sorts of weather and through all four seasons, and are sad that this simple pleasure can no longer be enjoyed.
