Vision
The proposed vision for the Bridgewater Canal Corridor is:
'To create a living canal connecting communities with a unique industrial heritage enjoyed and celebrated by all'.
Objectives
Our objectives are too:
- Restore and conserve the heritage and biodiversity along Britain's first individual canal system
- Provide opportunities for visitors and residents, including school children, to learn about the rich history of this important historical asset
- Enhance the city-region visitor choice, and strengthen its water and heritage tourism brand
- Interpret the history of the Bridgewater Canal Corridor through a variety of methods and activities
- Develop a cluster of sites of interest along the canal to improve the visitor experience
- Contribute towards health benefits and a healthier lifestyle through opening up and improving access along a key recreational route
Masterplan
The masterplan will help us achieve this vision by outlining key projects and development opportunities along the length of the canal in Salford. The aim of the masterplan is to:
- Identify areas of potential development and economic opportunity
- Provide for infrastructure, services and facilities
- Identify movement patterns and improvements
- Create gateways points to the canal
- Increase waterside and waterborne activity
- Make the most of the industrial assets
