The first step in the plan to revive the Nuns Stream through Hyde is complete.  Following detailed studies and measurements of the existing wildlife, a band of volunteers laboured away last week to create gravel “berms” and shelves along the walled-in section of the stream between Monks Road and King Alfred’s Place. This will encourage the stream to take a more sinuous path along its channel, eventually creating areas for plants, insects and fish to flourish.

The Hyde900 Literature Group has decided to continue to meet regularly at the Hyde Tavern for the ‘Bring Your Own’ literature nights. All are welcome, bring your own writing or a favourite piece to read out to the group. The BYO events take place every third Thursday of the month, starting at 8 pm.
