Pick Everard national director Matt Hall said: “The formal appointment of our consultancy team and Balfour Beatty as principal contractor is a significant milestone for Nottingham City Council. The project is being led by Nottingham City Council, working in partnership with Rushcliffe Borough Council. It will aim to provide easier access to green and open space south of the river, as well as the sports grounds, for people living in communities such as Sneinton and the city centre. The structure will be the first new bridge over the River Trent in Nottingham since Clifton Bridge opened in 1958. ![]() Planning application will be submitted early this summer. I was joined by Barry Hughes from Desperate Measures, George younger Wavesport Ambassador in the UK, Ryan Liquorice God amongst men, Robert Crowe, Miles Jones and a large gathering of Slalom paddlers including Dan Goddard.In 2021, the council secured £9M in funding for the bridge from the Transforming Cities programme yet the submission of a planning application for the bridge was delayed.įeasibility studies have already been completed alongside work to pinpoint the exact location of the proposed structure. ![]() ![]() The myth then becomes a reality and those who have been around for long enough in the area have all seen this level and know it not to be a myth but the most fun you can have in the UK (with your pants on, if you choose).Īnyway we took advantage of these levels as I personally haven’t surfed Trent lock at these levels since 2003. Most Thames paddlers often say “enjoy your front surf boys, we have Hurley weir” true for a 3 metre level however bring on a bit of flooding like this week and the Trent hit 3.5 metres. So the myth is this wave that forms once in a blue moon, the catch meaning you need a long boat right? Wrong the myth is that you can surf the wave in a play boat. I own neither however my friends and sponsors at desperate Measures are always on hand to lend me something fun for the job. Now this is all very well me sitting here saying it forms at 3 metres and this isn’t very often even at that level the wave is barely surfable for most unless you own a surfboat or a long slicey fast kayak. ![]() Trent Lock is one of the myths of UK play boating, a wave that forms when the River Trent reaches around 3 metres, considering its usual level is around 1 metre. Well some of you may not know that so does the River Trent! The only problem is that it requires not only some consistent rain but some flash flooding! Most UK paddlers know that the River Thames has a range of weirs that at different levels can provide some great paddling. Being based in Nottingham sometimes has its advantages. We have had a lot of rain recently in the UK, especially over the midlands area.
