Grants can assist improvement schemes, such as Hannaford Lily Pond which is a decayed old Victorian lily pond which has been cleaned out and replanted, and can help with repairs to Listed and Historic Buildings.
“Hannaford Lily Pond had become so silted up and overgrown that there was only a very small dark puddle of murky water visible in the middle. Grant money was provided by the DBP to assist with the dredging of 100 years or more of silt and rotting leaves. Advice was also sought from Sue Bragg, DBP Project Officer, who was able to make a smooth path through the maze of administration with other authorities and bodies in order to facilitate the works. The pond has begun to recover from years of neglect. The funds that the DBP was able to provide enabled the restoration of this area of water, which is already starting to teem with wildlife.” May 2001
