Recomendations

Warehouse at Riverhead It is recommended that the Driffield Navigation be restored to navigation to Riverhead.

This will require the restoration of all locks, the replacement of Snakeholme, Wansford and Whinhill bridges with lifting structures, and the management of Town Lock in a manner to protect the amenity of the adjacent residence.

Riverhead Driffield We consider That West Beck should not at this stage be restored and boating on This section should not be encouraged. The full report recommends various tasks be undertaken to enable the restoration to take place.

It is also recommended that the scope for transporting recyclable materials and waste on the Driffield Navigation be explored.

Pictures above, old warehouse has been converted into popular homes. The Riverhead site offers great potential.
