Silt in Hazel Brook

Silt in the Hazel Brook is still an issue. The Trym is clear, but the brook is milky. Peter Coleman-Smith will email the Environment Agency and South Gloucester Council again shortly.

Meanwhile the developers have installed a gravel bund in the attenuation reservoir up by the A4018 (you can see this on the left hand side of the 3rd photo). Peter thinks it’s to stop silt entering the brook which is an admission that there’s been a problem.

Update 19th December 2024

South Gloucestershire Council have contacted Peter and confirmed that they are in the early stages of undertaking a formal investigation of the issue.
