Subject to consent, we hope to undertake the proposed works in August and September this year and will be requesting proposals from suitable contractors through an Open Tender Procedure.

When a public sector organisation publishes a pipeline notice, it does not necessarily mean that an opportunity will be offered in the future.For more information contact: Westcountry Rivers Trust, Kyl Cober Parc, Callington PL178PH.
