Typical View of Blackwater Valley Countryside

(For Blackwater Valley Countryside Management Service/ Hampshire C.C.)

We were appointed to carry out a review of the core funding requirements for the Blackwater Valley Recreation and Countryside Management Service. The Blackwater Valley is an extremely attractive area of countryside starting in Surrey's Waverley Borough and ending at the River Loddon in Berkshire's Wokingham District. The service provides a strategic planning and management role designed to protect and enhance the valley environment. The final report recommendations are currently being evaluated by the a management group headed by Hampshire County Council and Bracknell Forest Borough Council.

Sketch of Proposed Alver Valley Cycleway

(For Groundwork Gosport)

We produced a visual assessment of the Alver valley between Rowner and Lee-on-the-Solent and drew up plans to provide access to new community facilities such as a country park visitor centre and a motorcycle scrambling circuit. New footpath and cycleway links are proposed along attractive north-south and east-west routes. The proposed options are currently being evaluated by a steering group representing Gosport Borough Council, Groundwork Gosport and local community groups from Rowner and Lee-On-The-Solent.
