Hurleybrook

In February 2026, Hurleybrook was formally identified as a proposed Local Nature Reserve. With an active ‘Friends of’ group and passionate community the site provides an excellent opportunity to engage the local community in the site further and protect nature in Telford.

Located in Leegomery, the site as currently proposed covers around 26 hectares including the watercourse and area around the Hurley Brook; encompassing areas of woodland with some scrub and grassland.

Water safety

We want everyone to be safe when visiting our sites that have water features within them. 

We work closely with the Royal Life Saving Society on managing water safety on our sites and further details on advice can be found on the RLSS website.

When visiting this site, here are a few tips to keep safe around the water: 

• keep out of the water at all times 
• never allow children to play near the water unless accompanied by an adult 
• don't run near the water, you may trip and fall in 
• learn how to help in an emergency; if you see someone in trouble in the water never jump in yourself. Stay calm and phone for help. Some sites across the borough have water safety sites and equipment, please only use the equipment when required. 

For more information on how to rescue a person from drowning please visit the RLSS website.
