Sale of Baulking Lake
Since the sale of Baulking Lake some months ago, work has been started in the last few days by the new owners, who are Embryo Habitats Limited, based in Basildon Essex, who own a number of angling lakes around the country, which are run on a 'not for profit' basis, but to maintain quality angling venues and environments. See: Home - Embryo Angling
The work being carried out currently, hence the large diggers and equipment, is to clear the ditches to the lake, cut hedges and grass, including the rights of way, shore up the north-east banks of the lake and fence the newly acquired land, principally to protect the water and it's future stock, from otters. This is expected to take some weeks, and the contractor, has stressed that any inconvenience caused will be short-term. The two remaining small plots of pasture are both still subject to contract, but are expected to be sold soon.
