More moorings for Saltaire
IWA West Riding Branch is keen to see more moorings on the canal through Saltaire to encourage more visitors to this beautiful town.
Re-opening the riverside
The towpaths on the canal sections of the Calder & Hebble and the Aire & Calder Navigations have great potential to be re-opened as walking routes.
