Introducing the Canal & River Trust
Introducing the Canal & River Trust
In 2012, British Waterways’ canals and rivers in England and Wales will be transferred to the care of a new waterways charity, called the Canal & River Trust.
The government is placing these waterways in trust for the nation. The move has been championed by British Waterways and will attract new investment, secure jobs and give the public a greater say in the running of their local canal or river.
