Nature restoration work to begin in the city

Nature restoration work is set to begin at a Stoke-on-Trent brook next month, creating natural habitats and supporting wildlife.

Staffordshire Wildlife Trust (SWT) has announced that work is due to begin at Ford Green Brook on Monday 24 August (weather-dependent), with the project expected to take around five to six weeks. 

The work aims to improve the brook and surrounding floodplain to support more wildlife and create a "better space for people to enjoy", without increasing flood risk.
