Our colleagues at the Hertfordshire and Middlesex Wildlife Trust are seeking urgent support for their campaign to protect the Broadwater Lake Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) from potentially devastating plans to create a large watersports centre.

Although located just outside Hertfordshire in the London Borough of Hillingdon, the lake is part of the nationally important Colne Valley wetland system. The level of human water-based activities being proposed holds severe implications for populations of wintering wildfowl and for biodiversity across the border in Herts. as well as further south in Middlesex.

Visit the HMWT website to learn more about Broadwater Lake, the water activity centre proposal and how objections can be submitted to Hillingdon Council before a December 21 deadline.
