I attended the Public Enquiry
on Wednesday where on behalf of the Canal Partnership I answered questions from
the Inspector regarding the submission made to re-instate in Part 1 of the
Local Plan a policy to protect the route of the Wilts & Berks from other
development. (The Local Authority is proposing to temporally ‘save’ the
existing protection policy while asking for further evidence to be submitted
for Part 2 of the Plan). The Inspector will now assess the submission and make
his recommendations as part of his report.

Kath & I have been
working on a funding programme as part of the Canal & River Trust’s
Dreamfund Heritage Heroes application to Peoples Postcode Lottery . You may
have seen that CRT were successful in obtaining
a £1/2m grant from PPL which will be shared by a number of restoration
projects. The Wilts & Berks part of the scheme is restoration of top lock
at Pewsham and working with partners Help for Heroes details of the project are
now being worked out. There will be a full public announcement about the scheme
in a few weeks time
