Prince Charles takes to the towpath

ON A visit to Burnley this week Prince Charles took to the Leeds & Liverpool Canal towpath in the town when he visited the Weavers Triangle.

This was his third visit to the town during the last four years to see the work his charities were undertaking, and to see the development of the canal-side Victoria Mill site, that is to become a new university technical college, Alan Tilbury reveals.

In addition to the many representatives he met, he questioned volunteers from Reedley Marina to be told they had cleared 150 square metres of rubbish last year saving British Waterways 80 man days.

Prince Charles was then led down the canal towpath to meet representatives from National Grid, Enterprise PLC and AP Broome Landscapes where he thanked them for turning the derelict area into a green space.
