At the recent #FundBritainsWaterways Q&A session with Canal & River Trust we heard that closing #canals is not planned and would be the last resort.
But government funding is insufficient to safeguard their future.
This is why we are taking action.

Thanks Court Above The Cut !
Inland Waterways Association is one of 125+ organisations that have come together in the #FundBritainsWaterways campaign for increased funding to safeguard the future of our #canals and #rivers .
Every signature on the petition helps to strengthen the message to government.
Survey of waterside destinations shows how much they are appreciated.
It’s so important to make sure our #canalsandrivers are funded sufficiently to safeguard them for future generations.
