RESTORATION OF THE RIVER AVON SYSTEM
Plans to "restore" the river Avon to a more "natural state" have been brought to my attention by a local Parish Council The plans are very detailed and can be found at http://avon.geodata.soton.ac.uk/
It seems likely that changes would result in more boggy areas and perhaps make it very difficult to use the Avon Valley Path on its present route and perhaps other rights of way in the vicinity. It is very likelt that Linwood Bog would become more boggy.
