British Waterways are the lead partner of the Cotswold Canals Partnership and this web site contains a great deal about the project including reports and studies about the heritage of the canals and why they should be restored. There is also information about the Conservation Management Plan which guides both the restoration and ongoing management of the canal to maximise its heritage, recreational and environmental/wildlife value. BW have provided valuable advice in setting up the Pike Bridge Project.
This site contains information about the Company of Proprietors of the Stroudwater Navigation, the oldest surviving canal company in the world. It also provides navigational information about the canal as it is today. There are also pictures and other information about both the Stroudwater and T&S Canals.www.countryside.gov.uk
The Countryside Agency is funding almost half of the cost of the project through an Aggregate Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF) grant. Visit their site to learn more about the work of the Countryside Agency and the ALSF grant scheme.
The Inland Waterways Association campaigns to promote the use and restoration of Britain's inland waterways through lobbying Government, Local Councila and the Navigation Authorities, consultation, giving advice, organising and providing manpower for projects, fund raising and giving financial aid. The IWA are also helping to fund the Pike Bridge Project.
Stroud District Council have supported the restoration of the Cotswold Canals for many years and willingly helped the Trust with a financial contribution to the Pike Bridge Project.
Gloucestershire County Council have a dual role in the Pike Bridge project as highway authority and as a funding partner. Without their backing, the project would not have got off the ground.
