#KeepCanalsAlive
We here in Wednesfield certainly support keeping canals alive.
The Government has cut back on the Canal and River trust financial support, They inform us that they will have some £30m cut to their finances over the next 10 years.
Please write to your MP in support of the #KeepCanalsAlive campaign.
Did you know that on average every Narrowboat that moors at Bentley Bridge spends around £100 of their own resources on our Local Wednesfield Economy.
During August alone around 35 narrowboats to my knowledge moored in these moorings. That meant that our economy benefitted by around £3500.
We need to keep our Canal Alive so that we can boost our economy, benefit from the leisure and walking opportunities, the angling and the fantastic Local Nature Reserve that we have here and the huge and different species of animals, birds, reptiles and fish that makes their homes on the banks and in the water.
Plus, we need our canal for the fantastic Wednesfield Canal Festival we put on in August of every year!
