And it is finished! Works to remove the largest weir on the Alt were finished this afternoon, and we're all delighted 🎉

The newly installed pools and riffles have already got to work - all thanks to funding from Open Rivers!

Visited @bigyellowss yesterday to collect kit to monitor the water quality in Whittle Brook, Warrington. Super easy thanks #armadillo #warrington 🙏🏻

[Mersey Rivers Trust @MerseyRivers]

Exciting news - removal works have officially begun on the River Alt's largest weir!
The works will take approximately 10 days, with the weir being replaced with oxygenating pools and riffles. Watch this space...

[Mersey Rivers Trust @MerseyRivers]

*Exciting Update on the Alt weir*

Work to remove the *only* weir on the Alt is scheduled for the 1st W/K of September 2026. The impact on wildlife, such as migratory eels, will be hugely positive, as well as increasing local safety around waterways.

Share what you see at England's rivers, lakes and beaches with our new BluePrint digital tool.

If you're out for a walk, paddle or swim your observations will help us build a clearer picture of how waterbodies are used and spot potential issues earlier.

Enjoying the warmer weather? ☀

Remember - jumping into open water can be fatal. Cold water shock kills and you don’t know what’s lurking beneath the surface.
