Message from Ellie at the Trust re the work that is shortly to take place at both Moors & Flashes.

"Aquatic Solutions will be out from first thing Monday. I’ll be there at 8am to meet them and get them set up.

Their plan is to be at the Moors for the first two weeks until the 8th. They will then move to the Flashes on the 11th until 19th. This is obviously subject to change depending on how things go but they will let me know as soon as they can if timings shift. They will only be working weekdays so the weekends will have no disturbance."
