A record 13 million people now visit Canal & River Trust's waterways – and that is only half the waterways network.
Over half the population lives within about 10 miles of a waterway.
The UK leisure and small commercial marine industry is worth over £3 billion to the nation; it directly employs about 34,300 people.
£1 of taxpayers money spent on the waterways gets A MINIMUM economic return of at least £6. It can be a lot higher where there is regeneration.
IWA's Waterway Recovery Group provides 5000 volunteering days each year.
Canal & River Trust alone is the third largest owner of historic structures in the country; Canal & River Trust and Scottish Canals have five World Heritage Sites between them.
Waterborne freight can reduce CO2 emissions BY AT LEAST 75% compared with road transport.
Boating demand, despite the recession, has increased. Numbers on the main Government funded navigations have INCREASED by over 5% and are at record numbers.
Over 90% of the population believe that canals are an important and valued national asset.
The money that the three main publicly funded navigation authorities (Canal & River Trust, Scottish Canals and the Environment Agency) need from Government to run their waterways properly is less than the cost of building 4 miles of motorway and LESS THAN 0.02% of government spending.
I hope this will hope u
