Horsbere Brook Project
The Horsbere Brook Project is a project that has been started by a
small group of residents with support from many agencies working in
partnership, including Severn Vale Housing who is providing the funding
to help take this project forward. The purpose of the project is to
clean up Horsbere Brook to make it a suitable area for people to take a
walk and explore the wildlife.
There are a number of groups and organisations that are getting
involved in the project:
• Brockworth Parish Council
• Severn Vale Housing
• Severn Trent Water
• Gloucestershire County Council
• Tewkesbury Borough Council
• British Trust Conservation Volunteers
• Environment Agency
• Brockworth Parish Council
• Police Community Safety Officers
The plan is to clear the brook of litter from A46 to Cedar Road. The
rest of the activities are on the section from A46 to the Mill Lane
playing field. We will be cutting back overgrown vegetation, reinstating
pathways, steps, improving the bridges, putting in seating, fixing the
water outflows, and put in a nature trail with information boards.
Volunteers will help by being involved in the planning and design of the
improvements, and the continued upkeep of the area after all the big
work has been done.
If you would like to get involved with the project please contact Julie
Shirley on 01452 863123.
