The River Worth Restoration is a wide-reaching project that seeks to identify opportunities for river restoration, access improvements and increasing volunteer engagement along the River Worth.
The project will conclude in 2025 (although delivery will have been scaled back in the latter stages of the project). It is intended that it will develop future fundable projects.
Bringing new life into our town
Like many of our urban rivers the River Worth and the streams that flow into it (its tributaries) has been shaped by the industrial growth of a typical West Yorkshire town, Keighley. Our urban waterways find themselves pinned in behind mills and factories, choked by weirs that once powered these vital parts of our economy and suffering from pollution from urban runoff and sewage treatment.
CREATING A MORE NATURAL RIVER
Through the River Worth Restoration we will create space for wildlife to feed, breed and shelter
CREATING A WELCOMING SPACE FOR ALL
The project will share the river's wildlife through, walks, signage and art; improve riverside footpaths and tackle litter
