    47 the RESTORATION of the COTSWOLD CANALS JULY 2010 UPDATE Theo Stening Introduction Now Just Over Two Years Since British Water

    Reprinted from: Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 2009 pages 47-50 THE RESTORATION OF THE COTSWOLD CANALS JULY 2010 UPDATE Theo Stening Introduction Now just over two years since British Waterways withdrew from the Cotswold Canals Partnership, news about the restoration project is still very positive since the update in last year's Journal (1). At the end of March 2009 a new limited company was set up to own and operate the two canals for the benefit of the public. This is called the Stroud Valleys Canal Company (SVCC). The key shareholders are Gloucestershire County Council (GCC), Stroud District Council (SDC), The Company of Proprietors of the Stroudwater Navigation and the Cotswold Canals Trust (CCT). SDC has a lead role in the restoration programme. Its canal team under the project manager, Paul Coope, has now been built up to full strength. Results from the major efforts on site and behind the scenes by both the formal bodies and dedicated volunteers (mainly from the Cotswold Canals Trust) are now becoming increasingly apparent both on the ground and in the water. Progress Phase 1a Brimscombe Port to The Ocean, Stonehouse (i) Land The eastern end of Brimscombe Port was bought from British Waterways and transferred to the SVCC almost immediately the new company had been established. The lease of the Stroudwater Navigation was reassigned to the SVCC too. Towards the end of 2009, the transfer of many sections of the Thames and Seven Canal to the SVCC, mainly from the GCC and the small sections owned by British Waterways, was also completed.
