Over the past century, Britain has seen a dramatic loss and alteration of its natural watercourses. This has led to a decline in wildlife, damaged ecosystems, increased flood risk and a weakening of the connection between communities and the landscapes that once shaped daily life.
The Rewet, Rewild, Reconnect project seeks to change this in North Lincolnshire. By working with local communities and landowners, we aim to slow this decline and bring riversides, streams, and ponds back to life. This is not only about restoring the natural environment, but also about supporting people to rediscover and revitalise a part of our shared heritage that has been forgotten.
Through education, the reintroduction of lost ponds, implementation of natural flood management and reprofiling of streams we can restore biodiversity, improve water quality, reduce flood risk, and revive the cultural and ecological value of riparian landscapes.
North Lincolnshire Council want these restored spaces to be accessible, healthier, and more engaging for everyone. They should be places where people can learn, explore, and reconnect not only with nature, but also with the heritage of their local environment.
To ensure this project reflects local needs and priorities, North Lincolnshire Council would like your views. Your responses will directly shape their plans and provide vital evidence for our project.

Specialist provider Foresight will bring forward plans for the modern one-bedroom homes designed to help residents live independently while staying close to family, friends and local services.
Cllr Rob Waltham, leader, North Lincolnshire Council, said: “This is the council doing what residents expect – getting land used properly to deliver homes people actually need.
“We know there is real demand for supported living for people with additional needs, and by agreeing this lease we’re turning a long-unused site into an opportunity to create new homes that will make a genuine difference to people’s lives.”
The scheme responds directly to local demand for supported living, delivering modern homes that support independence and keep people rooted in their community.
Foresight works with councils across the country to deliver supported living homes that promote independence, stability and long-term wellbeing for residents.
Paul Silvester, chief executive at Foresight, said: “This is an excellent opportunity to deliver an invaluable service for people who need it most.
“By providing the right homes and support in the community, this scheme will help improve quality of life and support greater independence.”
Cllr Richard Hannigan, cabinet member for adults, health and communities, added: “This is about listening to residents and acting on what matters most.
“These homes will support people to live more independently and remain part of their local community.”
