Sunny Bank Wier
18/03/2026
For information only, so that you are aware of plans to remove a small, damaged weir on Torver Beck. The structure no longer serves the purpose it was originally built for and now impacts on fish passage and the local biodiversity, as well as the watercourses ability to function naturally
The project will be delivered during the summer months in partnership with the Wild Trout Trust and the South Cumbria Rivers Trust, likely using Environment Agency powers, as thorough research has not provided any information on asset ownership
Please see the attached letter which will be going out to any residents immediately downstream of the project site. Any queries or correspondence needs to be sent to our customer and engagement team, using the contact details at the bottom of the letter
