Kennet & Avon Canal Waterway Partnership Board seeks new members

Anyone who thinks they could make a valid contribution to the Kennet & Avon Canal Waterway Partnership Board has been asked to step forward.

British Waterways and the Kennet & Avon Canal Trust are urging people to volunteer and help govern the 87-mile canal.

Among the duties of the new recruit will be ensuring that local communities know how to make best use of the canal and how it can be maintained effectively.

British Waterways' chief executive Robin Evans said: 'Over 13 million people visit the waterways each year, and there are over 34,000 boats licensed to use the waterways we manage.

'The Kennet & Avon Canal is a popular and much-loved waterway with an active and established Trust.'

Ideas for spending the August bank holiday were recently issued by British Waterways, which suggested that families take a trip to one of the many pubs that overlook UK canals. ADNFCR-2853-ID-800030725-ADNFCR
