⚽🤾. We have received an update from the Environment Agency regarding the Lowdham football pitch that has been fenced off following the works for the left bank repair:"The fencing was due to be removed at the end of August but this has been delayed to the end of September, subject to inspection.The dry weather did cause cracking and halted the grass growth. I’m happy that the growth is back underway but it’s important that the roots have had sufficient time to take in the soil. The contractor recently filled cracks and bare patches with topsoil and new seed but these patches will be vulnerable if the fencing is removed too soon.The pitch will not be suitable for football for some time and therefore, the football club have made alternative arrangements for the full 22/23 season.". 🤾⚽

Hi, members of Lowdham Flag will be cleaning and reorganising our flood store in the old toilet block near the Magna next Saturday. We have new road closure signs we need to add to the store. If anyone has any unwanted racking they could donate, so that we can maximise the use of the space, we would be very grateful for it. Please contact Peter Cross on 07946522629 or Russ Blenkinsop on 07767797335. Thank you!

Lowdham Flag have received multiple messages on Facebook about the amount of watercress growing in the beck, and whether it will have a negative impact on the flow of water in a heavy rain event. Our wonderful volunteer group of watercourse walkers have also reported back similar concerns.We raised theses concerns with a member of the EA back in August and this was their response:“We have no concerns with the vegetation growing in the Beck. This is very typical with low waters in the summer, normally we wouldn’t see such low waters for this long so they appear to have flourished. There isn’t an issue from a flood risk point of view, they will just flatten down with any significant flows and then die off for the winter.”We will keep asking the questions on your behalf and obviously continue to monitor the situation. On a plus side the biodiversity of the beck will have increased vastly as fish etc will have shelter and protection from predators.This crayfish was spotted recently!
