Wendover Canal Trust

At the time of formation, there was a danger of the canal suffering further deterioration due to neglect. There was also an imminent risk that the proposal to construct the Aston Clinton by-pass would sever the canal. The aims of WCT are to:

• Maintain and improve the waterway for the use and benefit of all, which also increases biodiversity;
• Promote the fullest use of the canal by all forms of waterborne traffic;
• Encourage the fullest use of the canal for all forms of local amenity, tourist and recreational, and water-related activities for the benefit of the public;
• Promote and educate the public in the history, use and associated wildlife of the Wendover Canal;
• Restore, reconstruct and preserve the Wendover Canal, with a net benefit to the public.
