Please be advised , contractors will be carrying out some essential tree work around Lake 1 starting tomorrow (7/3/23). This is to pollard some of the larger trees and remove a few that have come to the end of their life. Those of you who have been to Poppy Hill the last week or so will have seen the tree at swim 15 , this is an example of one thats come to the end of its life which fell down on its own accord. One of the reasons this work is being undertaken.
While works are taking place swims 1 to 17 (causeway and riverside banks) will be out of bounds.
For your own safety please leave the contractors to get on and stay clear of the areas. If you are fishing the riverside of Lake 2 please go round via the canal side
