  • River Kennet – Craven Fishery
    River Kennet – Craven Fishery An Advisory Visit by the Wild Trout Trust November 2014 1 1. Introduction This report is the output of a site meeting and walk-over survey of the Craven Fishery on the River Kennet at Hampstead Marshall in Berkshire. The request for the visit came from the owner of the fishery, Mr. Richard White. Mr. White is keen to explore opportunities to enhance and improve the fishery. The quality of the fishery, and in particular water quantity and quality have been in steady decline over the last 25 years and is thought to be linked to a combination of factors, including the restoration and re-opening of the Kennet and Avon Canal, increased abstraction pressures at Axford and the arrival of non-native signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Mr. White and the river keeper Mr. Geoff Trotman Throughout the report, normal convention is followed with respect to bank identification, i.e. banks are designated Left Bank (LB) or Right Bank (RB) whilst looking downstream. Map 1 Craven Fishery 2 The Craven fishery lies just downstream from a short section of combined river and navigation channel. The river and canal converge below Copse Lock and separate at the head of the Craven Fishery at NGR SU 421679. Through the Craven Fishery, the river channel runs parallel with the Kennet and Avon Canal before the two channels re-join near the bottom boundary of the fishery at SU 431667. The fishery itself consists of a section of main-river and a shorter section of milling channel.

  • White Horse Trail Directions – Westbury to Redhorn Hill
    White Horse Trail Route directions (anti-clockwise) split into 10 sections with an alternative for the Cherhill to Alton Barnes section, and including the “short cut” between the Pewsey and Alton Barnes White Horses S1 White Horse Trail directions – Westbury to Redhorn Hill [Amended on 22/5, 26/5 and 27/5/20] Maps: OS Explorer 143, 130, OS Landranger 184, 173 Distance: 13.7 miles (21.9 km) The car park above the Westbury White Horse can be reached either via a street named Newtown in Westbury, which also carries a brown sign pointing the way to Bratton Camp and the White Horse (turn left at the crossroads at the top of the hill), or via Castle Road in Bratton, both off the B3098. Go through the gate by the two information boards, with the car park behind you. Go straight ahead to the top of the escarpment in the area which contains two benches, with the White Horse clearly visible to your right. There are fine views here over the vale below. Go down steps and through the gate to the right and after approx. 10m, before you have reached the White Horse, turn right over a low bank between two tall ramparts. Climb up onto either of them and walk along it, parallel to the car park. This is the Iron Age hill fort of Bratton Camp/Castle. Turn left off it at the end and go over the stile or through the gate to your right, both of which give access to the tarmac road. Turn right onto this.

  • River Avon at Bulford
    River Avon at Bulford An Advisory Visit by the Wild Trout Trust June 2013 Contents Introduction Catchment and Fishery Overview Habitat Assessment Recommendations Making It Happen 2 Introduction This report is the output of a Wild Trout Trust visit undertaken on the Hampshire Avon on the Snake Bend Syndicate’s (SBS) water near Bulford, national grid reference (NGR) SU155428 to SU155428. The visit was requested by Mr Geoff Wilcox, who is the syndicate secretary and river keeper. The visit was focussed on assessing the habitat and management of the water for wild trout Salmo trutta. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Mr Wilcox. Throughout the report, normal convention is followed with respect to bank identification i.e. banks are designated Left Bank (LB) or Right Bank (RB) whilst looking downstream. Catchment and Fishery Overview The Hampshire Avon is recognised as one of the most important river habitats in the UK. It supports a diverse range of fish and invertebrates and over 180 different aquatic plant species. The Avon (and its surrounding water meadows) has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Area of Conservation (SAC); however, much of the Avon and its tributaries have been significantly modified for land drainage, agriculture, milling and even navigation. 3 The Avon begins its life as two separate streams known as the Avon West and the Avon East, rising near Devizes and the Vale of Pewsey respectively. The Avon West is designated as a SSSI whilst for reasons unknown, the Avon East is not.

  • Open Downland
    8. LANDSCAPE TYPE 1: OPEN DOWNLAND Location and Boundaries 8.1. The landscape type encompasses a number of distinct downland blocks from the Marlborough Downs (1A) and Horton Down (1C) in the west running through to the Lambourn Downs (1B) and Blewbury Downs (1D) in the east. Boundaries are mainly defined by topography and the Upper Chalk geology, and in the north relate to the top of the Scarp (landscape type 5). To the south, the edge of the chalk similarly forms a distinct boundary. Overview The Open Downlands are the remote heart and core of the North Wessex Downs, with the dramatic landscapes created by the underlying chalk rocks being one of the defining features of the AONB. The subtle curves and undulations of the landform are revealed by the uniform clothing of cropped grass or cereals creating a landscape with a simple and elemental quality, accentuated by vast skies. The open, expansive views are punctuated by distinctive beech clumps crowning the downland summits, forming prominent and highly visible landmarks. Sparsely populated, the downlands possess a strong sense remoteness and isolation. Predominantly in arable cultivation these are landscapes of great seasonal variation, with muted browns and greys of the chalk and flinty soils in the ploughed autumn fields, giving way to fresh greens of the emerging crops in winter and spring and sweeping yellows and golds of summer. The characteristic close-cropped springy downland turf of the surviving herb-rich chalk grassland provides an important habitat and this landscape type contains the largest areas of designated chalk grassland in the AONB, with 15 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

  • RIVER KENNET Status: Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)
    COUNTY: BERKSHIRE/WILTSHIRE SITE NAME: RIVER KENNET Status: Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) notified under Section 28 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 Local Planning Authorities: Berkshire County Council, Wiltshire County Council, Newbury District Council, Kennet District COuncil National Grid Reference: SU203692 to SU572667 Ordnance Survey Sheet 1:50,000: 174 1:10,000: SU26 NW, SU27 SW, SU27 SE, SU37 SW, SU36 NW, SU36 NE, SU47 NW, SU46 NE, SU56 NW, SU56 NE Date Notified (Under 1981 Act): 1 November 1995 Date of Last Revision: Area: 112.72 ha Other information: The River Lambourn, which is a tributary of the River Kennet, is also an SSSI. There are two existing SSSIs along the River Kennet: Freemans Marsh and Chilton Foliat Meadows. The site boundary is the bank top or, where this is indistinct, the first break of slope. Description and Reasons for Notification The River Kennet has a catchment dominated by chalk with the majority of the river bed being lined by gravels. The Kennet below Newbury traverses Tertiary sands and gravels, London Clay and silt, thus showing a downstream transition from the chalk to a lowland clay river. As well as having a long history of being managed as a chalk stream predominantly for trout, the Kennet has been further modified by the construction of the Kennet and Avon Canal. In some places the canal joins with the river to form a single channel. There are also many carriers and channels formerly associated with water meadow systems. The river flows through substantial undisturbed areas of marshy grassland, wet woodland and reed beds.

    REPRESENTATION MODEL INDEPENDENT INQUIRY This is the report of my independent inquiry into the objections of two Combined Fire and Rescue Authorities (FRAs) – Cleveland Fire Authority and Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority - to proposed amendments to their Combination Schemes, which would allow the relevant Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) for their areas to sit on the FRAs with voting rights where the FRA agrees to such a request from the PCC. 2. It comprises: Summary (page 1) Introduction (page 4) Government’s policy on enabling closer working between the emergency services (page 6) Cleveland Fire Authority (page 7) Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority (page 15). SUMMARY 3. The Government’s policy is to foster closer collaborative working between PCCs and local fire and rescue services. One way of doing this is to enable PCCs to take part in discussions and decisions of FRAs in a meaningful and effective way. The Policing and Crime Act 2017 therefore amends various pieces of legislation to enable PCCs to be represented on their local FRA (and/or its committees), with voting rights, subject to the consent of the FRA. Under the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004 Combined FRAs must have their combination schemes amended before the “representation model” can apply. The 2004 Act provides that where the Secretary of State wishes to make amendments to a combination scheme, a period of formal consultation is required; and where a FRA does not agree to the proposed amendments and the Government, having considered the authority’s views, wishes to proceed, it is then under a duty to hold an inquiry.
