John
Rainford, manager at RWE npower’s Didcot A Power
Station, said:
The
agreement puts the funding in place so that between
now and the end of the year the Northmoor Trust can
look at all possible options.
That
might mean renovating the Sandles building or it may
be more sensible to put the educational resource elsewhere.
Northmoor Trust will look at the costings and the
wildlife implications of the various options and then
report back to us and the local community.
Many people have said they would like to see a circular
route around the lakes, bird hides and other facilities
but it is important that the habitats are protected
while allowing such access and the Northmoor Trust
has the expertise to come forward with recommendations.
Once that study is completed we aim to put in place
a longer term agreement at the beginning of next year
when there will be further consultation around Northmoor
Trust’s findings with local stakeholders.”
