Cleaner, Green and Safer Canals
About the project
PROJECT TITLE: Cleaner, Green and Safer Canals
LOCATION: Manchester
FUNDING: Awarded £40,000 in Round Five of the Greater Manchester Green Spaces Fund
DELIVERED BY: Canal & River Trust
The idea
This project will bring communities together to make the canals in central Manchester cleaner, greener and safer for everyone.
Canal & River Trust will work with people who live in the city to improve green and blue spaces at locations between Lock 87 and 88 on the Rochdale Canal and between Lock 1 and Lock 3 on the Ashton Canal.
This project will empower local people to care for and use the canals on their doorstep for everyday physical activity, active travel, and to connect with nature.
