Notice Title

Provision of new field water supply at Barton Hills NNR, Bedfordshire

Notice Description

The work is to provide a new drinking water supply for grazing animals at Natural England's (NE) Barton Hills National Nature Reserve (NNR). See Appendix 1 for site photos. This requires the installation of approximately 1km of water pipe, laid through fields and woodland and crossing Church Road. The contractor will also provide and install all the necessary fittings including the provision of 2 galvanised water troughs.
