  • Written Evidence Submitted by Colne Valley Fisheries Consultative
    Colne Valley Fisheries Consultative WQR0011 Written evidence submitted by Colne Valley Fisheries Consultative 1. The Colne Valley Fisheries Consultative is based in the Colne Valley, Hertfordshire and represents fishery and conservation interests in the waterscapes of the River Colne, Mimmshall Brook, Upper Colne, Ellen Brook, R Ver, R Bulbourne, R Gade, R Chess, R Misbourne, Shires Ditch, Alder Bourne, Pymmes Brook, R Brent or Crane, Frays River, R Pinn, Bigley Ditch, Poyle Channel, Colne Brook, Wraysbury River, Bonehead Ditch, Duke of Northumberland’s River, Longford River, R Ash and the many lakes which hold water in the lands surrounding the rivers. 2. The rivers to the west of the catchment are all important chalk streams draining the Chilterns. The same chalk aquifer provides much of the water for consumption to Affinity Water, the supply company, and to Thames Water which has responsibility for waste water and sewage. 3. The Grand Union Canal runs into and out of the rivers Bulbourne, Gade and Colne and the whole system is a tributary of the River Thames. 4. Membership of the Consultative is open and presently it represents about forty angling clubs with local water holdings with a combined individual membership in the regions of 50,000. Many Londoners use the Colne Valley as their local wild place for angling, walking, sailing, boating, running and cycling with good communication links to and from the city. 5. The Consultative works in partnership with many stakeholders; the individual river groups, Herts & Middlesex Wildlife Trust, London Wildlife Trust, Colne Valley Regional Park, The Environment Agency, TW and AW, Angling Trust, Fish Legal, Wild Trout Trust and many others.
