Vision For the Future

What have we done so far?

As part of our three year £2.8million improvement programme we have improved access and restored major elements at the Foxton Locks site. Work started in 2006 and has now been completed.

The work included

• re-watering of the upper arm approach to the canal
• repairing and dredging of the bottom basin
• Replacing the missing bridge over the Harborough Arm of the canal
• And, footpath improvements to make the attraction suitable for all.

All of the above improvement were completed on time and will contribute to any future restoration plans of the Foxton Inclined Boat Lift.

What have we planned for the future?

We recently held a public consultation on the future of the Foxton Locks site. Our proposals included the re-building the working boat lift and also other projects. We are currently in the process reviewing all the comments and recommendations we received as part of the consultation and will publish a summary of our masterplan by the end of the year.
