A section of the canal towpath has been resurfaced thanks to Lib Dem councillor Armand Edwards.

Cllr Edwards used part of his devolved funding to pay for the agregate used improving the surface through Sydney Gardens. The work were undertaken by the Sustrans ‘Future jobs fund’ which provides employment and training to unemployed young people (more information here) and organised by British Waterways.

It is the 200th anniversary of the Kennet & Avon Canal this year and various celebrations and improvements are underway, which Cllrs Armand Edwards and Nicholas Coombes have been supporting. For ideas about how you can get involved, have a look here.

More work to the canal through Bathwick is yet to come.
