The Eribstock weird has been removed as part of ongoing ecological restoration works at the River Dee.

Its removal has opened up an unimpeded passage for all fish species within the Dee, enhancing biodiversity and supporting the river’s ecosystems.

Early observations indicate notable changes in the river’s flow and sediment distribution, which are expected to further benefit local wildlife and improve overall river quality.

It's been known for a long time that a lot of our flood provention techniques just move the problem (which is sometimes useful), and often causes floods when they happen to be worse, if less frequent. We have known that a lot of these techniques effect wild life too for a long time. I am glad we are finally starting to consider our existing installations instead of just adding more.
