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.

  • Potential Improvements to Smestow Valley Dis-Used Railway Line
    Agenda Item No. 6 Place Scrutiny Committee - 24th September 2020 Report of the Acting Director of Public Realm Potential Improvements to Smestow Valley Dis-Used Railway Line Purpose 1. To update the Scrutiny Committee regarding work done to date and the potential for future improvements to the Smestow Valley disused railway line. Recommendations 2. It is recommended:- • Scrutiny Committee note the contents of this report and support future opportunities for further development and improvement works to the route going forward. Background 3. The overall route of the disused railway runs between Fens Pool Nature Reserve in Pensnett and Aldersley Leisure Village in Wolverhampton, via Wombourne. Whilst the Fens Pool to Himley section of the route falls within Dudley borough and the Tettenhall to Aldersley Leisure Village section falls within the City of Wolverhampton boundary, the majority of the mid-section of the route lies in South Staffordshire. In total the Railway Path offers around 11 miles of pleasant traffic- free walking or cycling opportunity. A schematic of the route is shown below in purple; 4. Based on discussions with colleagues from both Wolverhampton and South Staffordshire Councils there is an appetite to improve and promote a regional route and lobbying for this is ongoing, however the key initial focus for Dudley is the condition of the section that falls within our administrative boundary. This section is shown on Drawing Number M570-01 attached to this report. 5. The quality of both the surface of the path and the quality of access points varies considerably along the route. Sections north of Pensnett, particularly around the Oak Lane area suffer from significant drainage and associated ponding issues, which during periods of inclement weather cause major problems for people trying to navigate the route.
