Money for Iron Trunk Aqueduct
Published: Monday, 06 June 2011
THE Iron Trunk Aqueduct on the Grand Union Canal at Cosgrove has been short listed for an £60,000 award from People's Millions.
This year celebrates the aqueduct's 200th birthday, and British Waterways supported by local partners, including the Inland Waterways Association, is seeking funding to give it a very much wanted make-over.
Draining
This will involve draining the aqueduct, cleaning and repainting it and removing vegetation. Other initiatives involve a community recording project, the creation of a circular walk and use of the recording project as an educational resource for school activities.
The voting happens by phone on 27th June, but a message of support can be left on the Peoples Millions website here:
