Residents of the village were particularly concerned with the impact of the weir on flooding. The mill at Skenfrith also dates back to the 15th Centuary and historic context of the weir is important.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="283"><div> <B>Scope of Work</B></div> <div>  The project included:-</div> <div>  </div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c811111100.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">A condition assessment of the existing weir structure.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c811111100.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Preliminary designs and cost estimates for the restoration / reconstruction of the weir including the incorporation of a fish pass and micro hydro-power.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c811111100.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">An assessment of the impact of the weir on flooding to the village</div> <bR> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c811111100.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">An environmental scoping study </div> <div>  </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr><tr> <td valign="top" colspan=2 height=32 BGCOLOR="#FFFBF0" TEXT="#080000"> <div> <A HREF="id81.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="BarrowinFurness SFRA "><U><B><IMG SRC="0111b180.jpg" border=0 width="27" height="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></U></A><B>  </B><A HREF="id80.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Villa Paridiso, Nevis "><U><B><IMG SRC="0121e160.jpg" border=0 width="30" height="22" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></U></A><B>  </B><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="23" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" WIDTH="27"><B>  </B><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="22" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" WIDTH="27"></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
