The Lagoon is slowly beginning to return to good health. It is so good to see!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I recently attended a further Teams meeting with representatives of the Environment Agency, Lancing Parish Council and MP, Tom Rutland\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our collective careful, measured approach has been to allow the lagoon to stabilise more naturally which is far better for the flora, fauna and wildlife that inhabit the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have held back with removing a second board whilst water levels have been further monitored. However, due to the levels which are still relatively low, we have collectively agreed that temporarily removing a second board would be of benefit in slowly replenishing the Lagoon further. This will happen in time for the high tides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please be assured that the water levels will be closely monitored with appropriate action taken if required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have scheduled a further multi agency meeting next month &#8211; though will of course meet sooner if needs be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please do not hesitate to contact me as the need arises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kind regards<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gill<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gill Purnell Chair &#8211; World of Widewater (WoW)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>07792349874<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>gillpurnell@hotmail.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WoW Website: <a href=\"https:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Flancingwidewater.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBEwcEdmUEtYc1dCZjdtNmd0VQEeNj53AgK50gkE5exUX04zG34nNuVyjVqLLgICZ2Us-rCcsHkYmIwv6FKKInQ_aem_WVCzNi4IkUv8vlh_dBaoQQ&amp;h=AT0aAKAUnqssEf_3Jnrrd0CvqAmYaYWNzkrSvmu_lQopMsYY2daxm7f8NHyn7MMYt7xR100i3_udWC4Jddx76SKhF-pVcMb9eet4yG2l2g9k9d4ENwn8-wFgg93L-IoiIfwhdg0AsaE9ng&amp;__tn__=-UK-y-R&amp;c[0]=AT0wedL-B1Ox43g50tXj71EZR4OAa2THhMEfk_XSCZQm5erKc4_RrXFyciXvixyQaOGQTWfCtqDTUodqLBAsULap9Fi0EIfQJkijUtd6pPLvGDaVlADRF5Dv_JfjzLTZF-peIs00zzRmNhfo5lxtRMVBVheBNXDH6oRgNGa0PV35ldjyZHJLDx6bZownbDS7lmtkIo1TcVYrPuEQz2n76ldlAivF_qguuXe4hNta7sOHvfCjNLARKA3Q6r1A5d9AO7CAvzW_LyoMFgdJmBp_Lw8\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/lancingwidewater.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Members of World of Widewater (WoW) and all those interested in the Widewater Lagoon.
