New ten-year plan for Monty

摘要

Keen to see more progress on the Montgomery Canal restoration over the next decade, Welshpool Town Council has taken the lead in getting interested groups together to agree a 'single plan' for the canal. A steering group has been set up with representatives of the Montgomery Waterway Restoration Group plus representatives of the local MP and Welsh Government member, and has published a draft Re-opening Plan. The Plan concentrates on the seven-mile 'missing link' between the restored lengths in England and Wales, which, if re-opened, would create a 26-mile continuous navigable route from the Llangollen at Frankton through Welshpool to Retail. The work needed to reopen it is split into five stages, with the costs estimated: 1. Morton to Llanymynech £5m 2. Llanymynech to Wern £1.1m 3. Wern to Four Crosses £3.3m 4. Four Crosses to Arddleen £3.75m 5. Arddleen main road crossing £1.6m.
