River Blythe restoration project begin in Brueton Park

Sarah Mason 25th Aug, 2025   0

WILDLIFE in Brueton Park are set to have their homes renovated.

From September 8 to 30 a restoration project in the River Blythe will see the ‘rock ramp’ and small weir downstream of the Warwick Road bridge removed and see the creation of a new sequence of pools, riffles and point bars.

Solihull Council say this will allow a natural throughflow of water, encourage natural river processes to reoccur and result in the new habitats that will protect wildlife and biodiversity in the area.

The works have been designed and will be managed by Warwickshire Wildlife and carried out by Five Rivers Environmental, in association with Solihull Council and the Environmental Agency.

For more information see the interpretation boards at Parkridge Visitor Centre and the North Car Park.
