Our Actionable Plan, accessible through the link above, was produced a few years ago when the Aire and Calder Catchment Partnership cared for both rivers. With the advent of the Aire Catchment Network, we are in the process of updating the plan and making it River AIre catchment specific. This work will be complete by the end of the year and will contribute to the current revision of the Humber River Basin Management Plan.
Meanwhile a survey of our network suggested some draft Priorities:
| Biodiversity, habitats, ecology |
| Renaturalisation |
| Fish passage |
| Upland and tree regeneration |
| Engagement |
| Tourism |
| Attention to our historic environment |
| Citizen Science |
| Flood alleviation |
| Natural Flood Management |
| Flood plain connectivity |
| Better development control on floodplains |
| Catchment scale strategy, planning and operation |
| Water quality (unspecified) |
| Sewage pollution |
| Agricultural diffuse pollution |
| Better soil management |
| Payments for outcomes |
| Urban diffuse pollution |
| Road runoff |
| Silt/sediment |
| Combined Sewer Overflows |
| Invasive Non-Native Species control/elimination |
| Access |
| Fly tipping/litter |
| Water management (unspecified) |
