A culvert planned to run beneath the new Forder Valley Link Road could be changed to make it better for otters – and other wildlife – to travel through it.
A design has been submitted to the city’s planners with changes including an extra ledge for otters and other animals to use it as a route to and from the Forder Valley Nature Reserve.
The original design was for two separate culvert sections for the new junction planned for the Forder Valley Road and Novorossiysk Road intersection. Now the plan is for a single culvert, leading to an ecology pond.
