Restoration
The first step towards the restoration of the Bow Back Rivers is underway with funding secured and building underway of a new lock and water control structures on Prescott Channel and Three Mills Wall River.
The new Prescott Lock will restore the Bow Back Rivers to navigation, creating a green gateway for barges entering the Olympic Park and reviving water transport in the area for the first time in 50 years. The lock is part of a wider strategy to maximise the use of the rivers in the area for wildlife, navigation and people, creating a thriving waterway legacy.
