The Internal Drainage Board are undertaking weed cutting and de-silting works on the Riddy commencing Monday 11 September 2023. This is to allow the water to reach the River Ivel. As part of the works, a cattle drink will be created to allow cattle safe access to the river. There is no bird nesting activity in the area and a water vole survey has been carried out to ensure the cattle drink does not affect water voles.
