Notice Title
Dredging and Restructure of Three Ponds in the Peterborough Area
Notice Description
Peterborough City Council is seeking to procure a specialist landscape contractor to undertake the dredging and restructure of three ponds in the Peterborough area. The three sites are as follows: * Cherry Orton Road. * Debdale Pond. * Stanground/Tenter Hill Pond. The successful bidder will be required to undertake the following actions: * De-silting of each pond and silt to be spread over the respective sites. * Re profiling of each pond. * Litter removal, noting that the log piles in the area must not be disturbed. The intended outcome of this activity is to increase biodiversity by maintaining the three sites as mosaic habitats of scrub, open water and marginal vegetation areas as breeding, feeding and hibernating areas for Great Crested Newts and other amphibians. The service will need to be carried out between the dates of 1st November 2026 -31st January 2027. The timing of vegetation removal in and around Great Crested Newt breeding sites must be carefully timed, and so the timings will need to be strictly adhered to by the successful contractor.
