On Sunday 11th October the SMAF team as well as numerous local volunteers engaged in an activity to clear Whin Dyke. This dyke is ‘dry’ for most of the year and only fills during times of high rain levels or flooding. However, when this happens it is imperative that the dyke is clear from debris in order for the channel to effectively allow excess water to run off from surrounding roads and fields and pass into the High Street culvert.
The dyke periodically gets full of woodland debris and this exercise was completed to remove dead trees, debris and other blockage material.
Excellent effort by all involved which has now left the dyke free and able to perform its function more effectively when required!
