The Trust has conducted a series of Roadshow exhibitions which explain the benefits of A New Waterway for the 21st Century and we are now analysing the views of hundreds of local people and users concerning the route and the current plans. It's not too late to add your views.
Have a look at the map showing the possible routes that are being examined. There are three different routes at the Milton Keynes end (numbered 1, 2 and 3 on the map) and three possible routes at the Bedford end, with a common shared route in the middle. The conbinations of routes currently being examined are therefore nine (3 times 3).
