To create a Sustainable Drainage System wetland in Tawd Valley Park in order to improve water quality in the River Tawd. The wetland will intercept a surface water sewer, trapping sediment and other pollutants before flowing back into the sewer to outfall in the river. The wetland will also have an amenity function and will be a feature within the park. A new path will be created around the wetland to give access for walking and birdwatching.
