Restoration is to be carried out on a river in Norfolk in a bid to help wildlife.

The Environment Agency plans to re-meander, or "rewiggle", the River Tas in Forncett St Peter by restoring meanders that were disconnected in the 1950s.

According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, the agency hopes the scheme will improve the "form, ecological value and biodiversity" of the river, and it said it would not increase the risk of flooding.

You know what, I was wrong. Just before I saw this post I saw one about ending protection for newts & bats, and I misread the title of this one as "last", not "latest".
