"We've created this. Now what's our ambition?" That's Richard Parry's opening line. He's referring to the setting up of the Canal & River Trust charity in 2012 to take over the waterways network from the nationalised British Waterways - and having joined CRT as its Chief Executive in May 2013, he's launching its strategy for the next decade. "Do we sit back," he continues, "and spend it as 'BW Mark Two', then get to 2027 and find that the world has changed? No." That 2027 date might seem a long way off, but it is important: it's when the 15-year government funding contract expires. So in ten years' time, the waterways will need to be in a good position regarding funding beyond that date - and that's what's driving a lot of the plans now. The published strategy divides into six parts: Waterways; Places; Prosperity; People; Influence; Resources and each has 'strategic goals' - 500 miles of canal adoptions; one million volunteer hours; 85 percent boater satisfaction. We're interested in getting Mr Parry to flesh out the detail.

机译：“我们创造了这个。现在我们的野心是什么？”那是理查德·帕里（Richard Parry）的开场白。他指的是2012年成立运河与河信托（Canal＆River Trust）慈善机构，以接管国有化的英国水路公司的水路网络-并于2013年5月加入CRT担任首席执行官，他正在启动其下一个十年的战略。他继续说：“我们坐下来，把它当做'BW Mark Two'，然后到2027年，发现世界已经改变了吗？不。”那个2027年的日期似乎还有很长的路要走，但重要的是：这是15年政府资助合同到期的时候。因此，在十年的时间里，在此日期之后，水路将需要处于良好的资金筹措状态-这就是现在推动许多计划的原因。已发布的策略分为六个部分：水路；地方；繁荣;人;影响;资源和每个人都有“战略目标”-领养500英里的运河；一百万志愿者小时；划船者满意度为85％。我们有兴趣让帕里先生充实细节。
