Hopefully more towns and cities will renovate and re-open their canals. This long spur of canal is due to be dredged, but only after campaigners insisted work was required. They pointed out how shallow it had become, needed to be surveyed and pushed for funding from British Waterways, who are now due to become a charity, with implications for their own funds. With luck, this will lead to a successful working relationship between volunteers and the paid staff, as well as opening up the canal network for us all to enjoy.
