<p>Hi there;</p>
<p>The New River Clean up will be postponed until the current situation is over. I will let you know the new date when I have one. Take care and stay well. </p>

<p>Actually yes to the east bank of the main Wightman-Hampden stretch, but I was thinking of both banks of the short bit north of Hampden road where both banks are closed to the public.</p>

<p>You mean the east bank, behind the houses? (The west bank is a public footpath and a Thames Water access track to te river weeding machine.) Yes, great idea.</p>

<p>I've been wondering about trying to get the section between Hampden Road and the railway bridge (i.e. the short stretch that isn't accessible to the public) sewn with wildflowers and then maintained as a meadow rather than being regularly cut short. Do people think this is a good idea? And if so, perhaps Thames Water are the best people to speak to about that too?</p>

<p>Hi Hugh; Yes, Beautiful Boroughs in a CleanUp UK project and it did help organise the last one. I've had a handful, but it's still early days. I've put a message on Bowes and Bounds, but I don't know AP Neighbours. Do you have a link? I'll have a look at the recent research that came out too. Thanks for your support. See you on April 18th. Cheers, James </p>

<p>Great idea James. I've put it in the diary and would happy to join the Wightman to Hambden Road section which has become an excellent walk in recent years since the horrible mud patch was eliminated (thanks to your efforts I should mention).</p>
<p>I walked the Green Lanes to Seven Sisters section two weeks ago. The path resembled a water logged mud bath. It was so bad that all but a few indefatigables turned back in dismay. Let's hope that by April things will have improved. Even so It will…</p>

<p>Well done, James. Beautiful Boroughs is a CleanUp UK project, right? Is that the same folks who helped with previous clean-ups that I linked to above?</p>
<p>Have you had a decent response for volunteers? The Bowes and Bounds and AP Neighbours forums might be good fishing grounds for bodies for the northern stretch. </p>

<p>BTW, the Hornsey New River research that led to the <em>New Cut</em> revelation was <a href="https://www.harringayonline.com/group/historyofharringay/forum/topics/a-river-through-it-development-of-the-new-river-and-water-works-i" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published last week</a>.</p>
<p>PS. You can put me down for the Wightman-Hampden stretch. </p>
