The new strategy

British Waterways is proposing that its 2,200 mile, 200 year old waterway network is moved out of direct state control and into a new 'civil society' or 'charity' organisation within the next 10 years. If you would like to learn more please watch this short film outlining our proposed new strategy, or download our publication, 'A Vision for the Future of Our Canals and Rivers'.
