Work has began on the Lottery Heritage funded project on Holme Pit. A access road has been excavated across the field and filled with hardcore, so that lorries are able to take away the silt that is to be removed from the pond.
FLOOD'S
January 19th
The river Trent burst its bank's this week causing some of the worst flooding to the area I have seen. Most of the area is inaccessible due to deep flood water with many of the footpath's below water. The worst areas hit are Clifton Woods, Beeston Weir and the fields behind Holme Pit.
