Fairy Beck Corridor
Fairy Beck is a designated main river and a tributary of the River Caldew. It is currently extensively modified and culverted in a number of places along its length.
The original culvert underneath the roundabout has been replaced with three shorter culverts to allow protected species easier through movement.
Fairy Beck is diverted and has curves incorporated into the diverted section, which over time will create a variety in riverbed structure and habitat beyond the existing straight section of Fairy Beck.
Mammal ledges have been used to allow small animals through the culvert and otter proof fencing will be installed to reduce the risk to animals from being injured on the road.
A linear open green space will run south west to north east along the course of Fairy Beck, incorporating habitat enhancements, woodland and ponds features.
