Questionnaire
Lancaster Canal Restoration Partnership Questionnaire
The Northern Reaches Restoration is an ambitious multi-million pound scheme to re-open the most northerly 14 miles of the Lancaster Canal to Kendal, which was cut off from boat traffic when the M6 was built in the 1960's. The Lancaster Canal Trust (LCT) is part of the Lancaster Canal Restoration Partnership and is a voluntary organisation which has worked unstintingly first to keep the canal open, and for the last 40 years to re-establish the cruising length to Kendal. The LCT undertakes a range of work in support of the Lancaster Canal and the restoration proposal.
We are aware of the increased popularity of the Lancaster Canal since the opening of the Ribble Link and this questionnaire has been produced to try to identify the extent of support amongst visitors to the Lancaster Canal for the existing system and the proposed extension through to Kendal. As part of the justification for financial support for the restoration, we are also interested in the benefits that might accrue to the local economy by use of local shops, restaurants and visitor attractions. Finally we would like to know if the information that the LCT and Lancaster Canal Restoration Partnership puts out is useful, and provides the opportunity for you to become involved in our work.
We would be very grateful if you could spare a few minutes to complete the questionnaire and return to the address on the form. Details of membership and how to make a contribution will be provided on request. If you return the questionnaire with a photograph of your boat at Tewitfield, together with your home address, there will be the opportunity to obtain a commemorative plaque to remind you of your visit. This unique plaque will only be available to boaters who have visited Tewitfield.
