- W1598158640 abstract "This article describes the recent revival of the use of Britain's inland waterways for business and leisure. According to British Waterways (BW), which is responsible for about 3000km of the 5000km of inland waterways in the UK, they now attract 10M visitors each year, who spend about #1500M. This helps to support 55,000 jobs. The network's restoration has been driven by the popularity of the canals and their value to the tourism and leisure market. With help from EU, National Lottery, and local authority funding, canals are now being restored as fast as they were being built 200 years ago. But BW now has a #260M backlog of repair and maintenance, of which #90M is essential for safety. In 1999, the UK Government raised BW's annual grant from #51M to #59M a year, which will enable the backlog of urgent repairs to be halved by 2003. At the same time, BW was told to find long-term private partners to help it carry out maintenance, optimise the use of its property assets, and develop a fresh water grid to beat drought, which would use canals to move water from the wetter north west to the drier south east. The Government White Paper Waterways for Tomorrow encourages innovative and profitable canal ventures, aims to increase the use of inland waterways for public transport and freight, and emphasises the advantages of waterside housing." @default.
