The River Frome habitat enhancement project implemented in 2006 was a collaborative project led by Dorchester Fishing Club, supported by riparian owners, with funding support from Natural England and the Environment Agency.

One of Swindon’s fishing success stories will be featured in a new BBC television programme to be aired this autumn.

Rodbourne Lagoon, which is sandwiched between the Cheney Manor Industrial Estate and a railway line, will be featured in a new programme fronted by Alan Titchmarsh, Nature of Britain, on BBC One.

The series will feature a section on urban wildlife, and Rodbourne Lagoon was suggested by us as a great example of an improving urban habitat which hosts an increasing abundance of healthy fish.
