The Dam has substantially decreased in size when th building of new houses occurred at North Side of the dam ecologically this is the wort place to have built on since it is the shallower side of the resevoir the north side of the resevoir below Delp Hill fall od quite quicky and results in fewer water plants rooitin and providing habit. The loss of nets frogs and other amphibians will have been noticeable from this site which was distinguishably marshy . The extensive fish stocking has also given rise to many birds and other visitors which contribute to oveall biodiversity in the area . We are deply concerned regarding Bradford Councils C;arity on its future
