Dear Members,
In anticipation of the construction work for the Oxford Flood Alleviation Scheme (likely to be commencing in 2025), the Environment Agency will be carrying out a series of ecological and environmental surveys on both our Botley Meadow and Twenty Pound Meadow sites. These will begin with a badger walkover in the week beginning 18 March 2024.
The EA has permission to access the allotment land and Committee Members will be on hand. The survey, which takes in other wildlife, will continue sporadically through to the autumn of 2024.
The notice, plan and indicative dates are all up on the Website if you would like to see them:
We ask you not to disturb any of the special and safe feeding mix which is put down in order to do an accurate of animals.
Thank you.
Nick and Verity on behalf of the Committee
