Restoration of the Canal

The Canal Trust has gained national recognition of its success in working in partnership with developers and Local Authorities in order to secure the future of the restoration for the whole community. To ensure the line of the Canal is not obstructed in the future the entire Canal corridor is protected in the Local Authority plans.

 

There are regular restoration sites along the length of the Canal where volunteers work on various projects throughout the week. To learn more about each site please click on one of the links below;
