Dovestone Reservoir Back to Chaos | Manchester News

Dovestone Reservoir is back open—but locals fear the parking chaos and litter nightmare will return, especially as summer heats up. Before a recent fire shut it down, the area was already overrun with illegal parking, blocked roads, and trash, made worse by pandemic-era social media crowds. Residents have resorted to DIY barriers and feel constantly harassed trying to get home. Council has issued nearly 1,000 fines, while United Utilities and RSPB are rolling out plans to tackle safety, litter, and parking—aiming to preserve Dovestone as a safe, welcoming natural haven for all.
