This month’s update from Mike Stone (Chairman) Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, It's back to work we go All dressed in our own PPE with CRT life vest. The grass grows even higher, the locks are leaking too. Weeds stopped the trip-boat moving; we didn’t know what to do Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho We dig up stuff on Fridays we lift out branches too, We’re getting a new weed boat soon but drivers needed too As volunteers on this canal there’s so much work to do Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, It's back to work we go .... Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho! Don’t just sing alone – come and join us - Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho! (No height restriction!) Thanks to you, our supporters, we have achieved our target to raise £20,000 to enable the restoration of the slipway at the Depot. This is a brilliant result in four months and the Society says a big THANK YOU to all who contributed. Restoration work will commence early in October – Heigh-ho! Within the coming week we look forward to the delivery of a new, to us, weed-boat from The Rothen Group. Which, by the way, hasn't been named yet - see p10. This will enable us to remove the extensive weed growth from the navigation and, I hope, permit The Three Shires charter cruises to re-commence operation.

  • English Nature Research Report 75
    4 CANALS AS AQUATIC CORRIDORS 4.1 INTRODUCTION The term 'corridor' can be used to describe two different situations. In the first, the corridor is simply a passage along which organisms travel. or along which propagules are dispersed. Thus, one can imagine a butterfly or a bird passing from one wood to another along a hedge, or a seed floating along a stream from one lake to another. The second situation is the corridor as a linear habitat in which organisms live and reproduce. This section of the report considers British canals as linear habitats for submerged and floating vascular plants. A study of the plants which have colonized canals is of interest for two reasons. Canals are of intrinsic importance, as they contain significant populations of many scarce or rare aquatic macrophytes. They are unstable habitats: if neglected they gradually become overgrown by emergent vegetation but if maintained and intensively used by boat traffic they also lose much of their botanical diversity (Murphy & Eaton 1983). The restoration of canals for pleasure boating has been a controversial issue in recent years, and the management of the Basingstoke Canal. in particular, has been a subject of heated debate (see Byfield 1990). Proposals to use canals as part of a national water grid may also need to be evaluated by conservationists, and a knowledge of the dispersal behaviour and colonizing ability of both native and alien species will be essential if the consequences of linking canals are to be predicted. 4.2 REPRODUCTION AND DISPERSAL IN THE AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT In considering aquatic corridors, an important feature of aquatic plants must be borne in mind: the prevalence of vegetative reproduction in many genera.

    Public Agenda Item No. 4(i) DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING OF CABINET MEMBER – HIGHWAYS, TRANSPORT and INFRASTRUCTURE 21 June 2016 Report of the Strategic Director – Economy, Transport and Communities CHESTERFIELD CANAL STRATEGIC INVESTMENT PLAN (1) Purpose of Report To seek endorsement of the Chesterfield Canal Strategic Investment Plan as part of the Derbyshire Waterways Strategy. (2) Information and Analysis The Derbyshire Waterways Strategy was approved at the meeting of Cabinet on 17 June 2014 (Minute No. 218/14 refers). This included a significant work programme contributing to the restoration of the Chesterfield Canal. This identified the need for a Strategic Investment Plan in order to identify priority areas where restoration will best support regeneration, to seek ways to improve income generation from canal related activities and to develop a sustainable model for the canals. For the Chesterfield Canal, Derbyshire County Council owns and maintains 5 miles of navigable water and, as part of the Chesterfield Canal Partnership (CCP), has the shared aim of restoring the canal and its connection to the national canal network, and to promote the sustainable economic and social regeneration of the Chesterfield Canal Corridor. This will be essential if the Authority is to both realise the benefits of regeneration for communities and the local economy, and to reduce its own on-going management costs. Achieving a sustainable model will also be necessary if opportunities for potential alternative bodies to take on the canal in the future are to be explored. Working in consultation with CCP partners, a Strategic Investment Plan has now been completed for the Chesterfield Canal.

  • 2020 Vision: a Strategy for the Restoration and Development of the Chesterfield Canal
    Chesterfield Canal Partnership 2020 Vision: A Strategy for the Restoration and Development of the Chesterfield Canal “Bringing the Past into Focus for the Future” Third Edition, Revised 2006 2020 Vision: A Strategy for the Restoration and Development of the Chesterfield Canal Preface Preface: Why Revise our 2020 Vision? The first edition of 2020 Vision was produced after the formation of the Chesterfield Canal Partnership in 1995. This was subsequently revised and a second edition produced in 1999. It is this second edition which has provided a compass for the direction of the Partnership over the last six years. In that time a very great deal has been achieved and it is now appropriate to update our “2020 Vision”. Given the extent of changes in waterways restoration, management and funding regimes, together with the numerous development studies undertaken by the Partnership, the document needs to provide a more comprehensive review than that undertaken in 1999. Notwithstanding these contextual adjustments, the fundamental ambitions of the Partnership remain essentially unchanged. This document sets out those aims and outlines the broad strategy of the Partnership for the restoration and development of the Chesterfield Canal. Councillor Brian Lucas, Derbyshire County Council, Chair of the Chesterfield Canal Partnership, 2003-2006. Contact For further information on the Chesterfield Canal Partnership please contact Dr Geraint Coles, Development Manager, Chesterfield Canal Partnership, The Old Parish Rooms, Church Street, Eckington, Derbyshire.
