​The planning application was submitted in January. View more information on the plans here.

The ultimate goal for this strand is the creation of a visitor centre and café for visitors to enjoy and find out more about the canal, as well as the introduction of boat trips along a section of the Canal and an events programme to run throughout the year. Led by Runcorn Locks Restoration Society (RLRS).
