Does anyone have any suggestions to accelerate the process of restoration?

How deep is the water above the sludge/sediment?

If there's enough, and you have already provided sunlight, Nature will do
the rest. Some hardy lilies potted in plastic pails would put on a nice
flower show this season, and a few larger (1-bushel, more or less) plastic
tubs with lotus tubers should bloom next year.

I don't know what fish species are OK in the UK, but I'd stay away from
carp and catfish that can root in the bottom and roil things up. Sounds
like you have enough water for large-mouth bass if they're legal there.

Enjoy!
