The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is providing a grant of £41,200, with match funding of £75,000 from HS2's Community and Environment Fund (CEF). This will enable LHCRT to make habitat improvements to the Darnford Brook wetlands, existing woodland and hedgerows from Darnford Lane to past the lift bridge. It will also enable the Trust to put the canal channel into water to the east of the liftbridge. [The route of HS2 crosses the canal nearby.]
