Management and Action Plan 36 Aims of Service 36 Forward Kingsbury Water Park is Warwickshire’s premier waterside attraction and the jewel in the crown of Warwickshire’s Country Parks. The water park has come a very long way since the cessation of gravel extraction that originally formed the lakes and pools back in the 1970s. The transformation of this despoiled landscape into a valued community asset is an excellent example of sustainable development. Today the Park is so many things to so many people. For some, simply a place for quiet recreation or to get close to nature, while for others it is about sport and exercise or joining in with events, volunteering, fishing and more. The park is also a gateway to the growing number of outdoor leisure destinations in North Warwickshire as well as being a vital part of the diverse ecology of the Tame Valley. Following the announcement of the Y route by HS2 Ltd, it is clear that the route will pass through the water park to the south of the M42. Just as we did when the M42 came through the park, we will work with our partners and local community to turn a threat into an opportunity through the development of a robust case for compensation, mitigation and community benefit to preserve and enhance the facility for future generations. I welcome this management plan for Kingsbury Water Park that has been produced in consultation with our customers, business and community partners. Cllr Jeff Clarke 1 1. Introduction The Purpose of the Plan This management plan aims to provide a description of the features and facilities within Kingsbury Water Country Park; outline how the Park is currently managed, and to set out the vision, aims and objectives for its future development and management. This will be the second management plan for this site and the aim is to provide a framework within which the site will develop and to ensure that natural features of the park are conserved or enhanced during future developments for recreational or educational activities. The plan will include a statement from Warwickshire County Council regarding the current policies relating to Country Parks along with a detailed history of the site. The plan will then focus on the management of visitor services and the management of natural resources. The plan will take an honest look at the current position and aims to build on the strengths while also drawing on the knowledge and opinion of interested parties to improve site management into the future. Who Wrote the Plan? The plan was devised by the site’s Ranger Team. The content was arrived at through discussions with site staff, the Park’s Manager, Land Manager and the Rural Services Group Manager with further input from stakeholders, visitors, County Councillors and volunteers. An evening consultation exercise took place on 20 July 2011 to which representatives from users of the park were invited. A site SWOT analysis was compiled during the evening. This SWOT analysis can be found in survey results (page 26). This was then repeated during two public consultations in the park to maximise the input from visitors. A further SWOT analysis was then carried out with the clubs and concessions (Appendix 5) on 23 November 2011 and the results of the public consultation were shared and discussed. Policy Context Country Parks, as envisioned by the Countryside Act 1968, provide safe managed places for quiet recreation and importantly, act as a gateway to the wider countryside. The gateway function is expanded upon in our policy document prepared in response to the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, the “Countryside Access and Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2006 – 2016”, w.ww.warwickshire.gov.uk/carowip . The plan highlights the importance of country parks in building confidence and acting as a stepping stone to the County’s 1,700 miles of public footpaths and bridleways. 2 Kingsbury Water Park makes significant contributions to the County Council’s overall aim of making Warwickshire a great place to live, work and visit, and in particular our objectives for; • Raising the educational aspirations of children and young people: - In line with the Government’s recent manifesto for education outside the classroom, experiential learning in the park can be life changing for those who have experienced difficulties in the classroom. Skills are also passed on to volunteers, work experience and sheltered placements, the probation and youth offending services and others. • Safety and protection – reduce instances of anti-social behaviour:- The park work with the Police, Youth Service, Probation, Volunteer Centres and Pupil Reintegration Units to ensure the parks are safe places to visit and people understand and appreciate the value of the natural environment. • Maintaining our natural environment and heritage:- Kingsbury Water Park lies within the Tame Valley. The 625 acre site was extensively dug for sand and gravel and the pools were subsequently backfilled with pulverised fuel ash (PFA) from the former Hams Hall Power Station. The transformation into a Country Park with its outstanding biodiversity is testament to the work of our predecessors at Warwickshire County Council (WCC), together with our partners and volunteers. Vision Statement The long-term vision for Kingsbury Water Park is: - “A Country Park that provides a diverse range of attractions and facilities for people to enjoy from both the local community and beyond. It will be recognised as a place that offers quality environmental education and recreation facilities, and for its wildlife habitats and biodiversity. Location Site Name: Kingsbury Water Park Address: Bodymoor Heath Lane, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands B76 0DY Map Reference: 205 958 OS Landranger 139 Site Status: Country Park Kingsbury Water Park lies to the North-East of Birmingham in the Tame Valley, which is a complex amalgam of open countryside, gravel workings and industrial development. The park lies wholly within the boundaries of Warwickshire but is within a few miles of Staffordshire, Leicestershire, Derbyshire and the West Midlands. The Park falls within the North Warwickshire Borough Council boundary and is located near to the hamlets of Lea Marston and Bodymoor Heath and the larger village of Kingsbury. 3 The park is in the flood plain of the River Tame with the river creating a natural boundary to the east of the park. (See Appendix 1) The western edge is bordered by the Birmingham to Fazeley Canal and Bodymoor Heath Lane. The Southern boundary is the Marston Bypass A4097 and our Northern boundary is the southern meadows of the RSPB Middleton Lakes Reserve. The position of the park within the floodplain has significant management related issues. The River Tame is the largest tributary of the River Trent and much of the catchment area covers the conurbations of the West Midlands. It covers an area of 1490km 2 and a population of 1.7 million people. It’s location in many urban areas means that it has been heavily modified and bears little resemblance to the natural river channel. Much of it flows through a canalised channel and in culverts. As the river flows towards the park the Tame passes through the purification lakes at Lea Marston where much of the pollution from the industrial upper catchment is removed. These lakes are unique to the Tame as no other river system has the entire flow passing through settlement lakes. Below Lea Marston the Tame takes on a more natural flow and meanders along the edge of the park towards the confluence with the River Anchor and then later with the River Trent near Alrewas. On the northern boundary the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) has recently acquired the Middleton Lakes Nature Reserve and are developing the floodplain for wildlife. Together with other partners in the Tame Valley Wetlands Project, we are looking to enhance the valley habitat for wildlife and promote the valley as a destination for visitors. All the wetland sites, with Kingsbury centrally placed, formed a 12 mile length of aquatic habitat as a nationally important site for waterfowl with around 10,000 swans, ducks and geese present in the winter months through regular bird counts by local bird watchers. Ownership and Management Kingsbury Water Park has been owned and managed by Warwickshire County Council since its purchase in 1973 as a valuable facility for recreational and educational needs in the area. 4 Local Planning Authority: North Warwickshire Borough Council Owner: Warwickshire County Council Tenure: Freehold Area: 625 acres Buildings o Information Centre o Depot/Workshop including 2 metal o Office storage containers o Environmental Education Centre o 3 Clubhouses built by water sports o An Outdoor Education Centre and concessions climbing tower o Biomass Boiler House o Coffee Shop o 13 acre Children’s Farm with house, o 4 Toilet facilities cafe and out buildings o 4 Bird Hides o Miniature 7 ¼” Railway with station(s) and marshaling/storage yard Kingsbury Water Park comprises 625 acres of former sand and gravel workings situated within the River Tame flood plain.

  • The Tame Catchment Management Plan
    Severn-Trent 37 % THE TAME CATCHMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN CONSULTATION REPORT SUMMARY JANUARY 1996 NRA National Rivers Authority Severn-Trent Region The National Rivers Authority’s aims are to conserve and enhance the natural water environment and to reduce the risk of flooding. In our role as ‘Guardians of the Water Environment’, we are committed to ensuring the sustainable development of the region’s river catchments. To help us achieve this, we are producing a catchment management plan for the River Tame. This booklet is a summary of the Consultation Report. The Tame catchment is described and we identify the problems and opportuni­ ties which face the catchment. We call these issues and 29 have been highlighted, which we think need to be considered if the water envi­ ronment is to be improved. This is the beginning of the catchment planning process and we want your views and comments. After we have considered everybody’s comments we will produce an action plan for the next five years. This plan will be implemented by the Environment Agency, the successor to the NRA, which will be formed on the 1st of April 1996.
