Work will be carried out at Cliviger Fishponds during May/June this year. The silt trap below the bottom pond will be de-silted, the lower end of the spillway will be rebuilt, the dam wall will be pointed, and the pathways will be reconstructed and re-stoned.When the bottom pond works are complete the top pond will be tackled. The leak will hopefully be cured, thick plastic shuttering will be driven in all the way along the dam wall, to create a watertight barrier, the dam wall will be cemented up the silt trap desilted. A dipping pond will be created in the hillside, and the access roadway will be improved. The path across the roadside will also be re-stoned. Some disruption to fishing ie: water levels, is unavoidable but one pond will be full of water at all times.
