COST: c.£2,768

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The dipper at this site had been in existence for a number of years. It is one of similar dips in the area located close to a watercourse. The dipper at this site was on a steep hill slope close to a stream. The existing layout was reasonably efficient. However, it was decided that some improvement works would be beneficial to protect the environment.

DESIGN

The improvement work comprised the following:

Waterproof rendering of the walls;
Provision of anti-splash guards;
Blocking of redundant drainage systems;
Provision of a roof over the dipping area to exclude rainwater from the dip tub;
Provision of new gates with splash proofing;
Provision of a new dip tub.
