The Funding Challenges Facing Britain's Waterways
A discussion between Richard Parry, Chief Executive of the Canal & River Trust, and Peter Johns, Publisher of Waterways World
Responsibility for the maintenance and care of much of our 200-year-old canal network is with the Canal & River Trust as custodians of a leisure resource used by millions; enjoyed by boaters, holiday-makers, anglers, walkers, runners, gongoozlers and many more. Yet, despite increased investment under the Trust’s stewardship, they report growing financial strains.
In this discussion session, Richard Parry (Chief Executive of the Canal & River Trust) and Peter Johns (Publisher of Waterways World) will talk about the challenges faced in funding the maintenance of this centuries old network at a time when government funding is uncertain and new, possibly radical, approaches are needed. The session will be moderated by former IWA National Chairman, Paul Rodgers.
There will be plenty of opportunity for questions and comments from the floor.
