	Monnow Bridge and Gate
		Before works to strengthen the foundations of Monnow Bridge, boreholes and excavations were undertaken which revealed remains of the previous wooden bridge directly under the present stone one.
		A 1705 contract required the lessees to convert the gate to a house, but, beyond this remodelling of the tower itself, a two-floored extension was constructed which abutted the gate at its eastern corner.
		Plans to close Monnow Bridge to vehicles and to build a new bridge nearby were examined and postponed many times by the local government.

	Guardian \| Water voles reintroduced to Herefordshire river
		Hundreds of water voles are to be reintroduced along a stretch of river in one of the most ambitious conservation projects ever attempted in the UK.
		Populations of the water vole, immortalised by the character of Ratty in the Wind in the Willows, have been decimated because of changing habitats and hunting by American mink, most of which are descended from animals that escaped from fur farms.
		The scheme, part of the river Monnow project, has seen the restoration of river habitats through the coppicing of overhanging trees and construction of fences to prevent livestock reaching the water's edge.

	BBC NEWS \| UK \| England \| Hereford/Worcs \| Grant to restore river's fish
		A £1m government grant has been made to restore dwindling fish populations in the River Monnow in Herefordshire.
		The number of trout and grayling in the river and its tributaries has fallen away over the years because of a decline in rural practices such as clog-making.
		But the clog-making industry's decline, combined with livestock breaking down the river's banks and causing it to carry silt, has led to a change in the Monnow's ecosystem.
