THERE is cautious optimism for the future of the Rye Meads wetland reserve in Hertfordshire following a statement issued by Thames Water and published by The Hoddesdon Society.
There had been a question mark over the site - and public access to it - since the RSPB announced its intention to pull out come November because of cash constraints.
Amy Pigot, who has been at the forefront of a campaign to save the reserve says: "This statement is very welcome and marks an important step forward."
However she is not resting on her laurels, noting there is still a lot of detail to work through around the transition, future management, volunteers, facilities and community involvement.
