Ymatebydd: Canal & River Trust

Canals offer an opportunity for supporting and promoting healthier lifestyles and helping to improve the physical and mental wellbeing of local communities by encouraging people to be more active, whether through leisure and recreation (including activities such as canoeing as well as walking or cycling along towpaths) or offering an active travelling option that is a sustainable alternative to using private motor cars to access services and facilities. Canals are a free-to-use resource that can benefit the whole community, and it is important that the Local Plan encourages nearby new development to seek to maximise the opportunities presented by them.
