“This is the best thing to ever happen in Cranleigh!” My favourite quote from the opening day of Knowle Park today. We spoke to objectors who completely changed their minds and so many families who have fallen instantly in love with the place. A long day but a good day.
Visited the park this morning to see the bridges being installed, connecting the island. Two more to be added crossing Littlemead Brook later this summer.

Our visual assessments and water quality sampling shows that river levels in the south east are really low.
