K&A and London [Three Year] Action Plans

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Canal & River Trust should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Canal & River Trust,

I refer to the board report ‘PROGRESS REPORT ON THE STRATEGIC WATERWAY PLANS – SEPTEMBER 2013’ (CRT58C) by Head of Governance Services, Head of Planning & Head of Enterprise. This report describes the development of Strategic Waterway Plans (SWP).

https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/media/ori...

In particular, I refer to two paragraphs -

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Partnerships are continuing to work on their Action Plan. The Action Plans will include a wide range of projects ranging from strategic projects such as the resolution of the water supply on the Rochdale Canal and major investment to secure the future of the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, to community engagement, engagement with young people with linkage to the skill/employability agenda, and the natural health service access improvements and habitat enhancement.

Partnerships are working on the assumption that they will have to secure funding for projects in their Action Plans. With local knowledge and contacts they may be able to forge new partnerships and secure significant grants to fund their projects. However, the Trust may choose to provide match funding for strategic initiatives on a project-by-project basis. Work is in hand to establish the costs of the Action Plans at a macro level, for the guidance of Trustees, and indicative funding sources. These estimates will be part of the SWP.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Please provide the original [three year] Action Plans for K&A Waterway Partnership and London Waterway Partnership.

Yours faithfully,

Allan Richards
