Oxford Canals

We want the Oxford Canal to be

• a tourist attraction
• an environmental resource
• a focus for the community
• a valuable resource which can contribute to economic life in the city

To do this, we've brought together 14 organisations to help create a sustainable future for the stretch of the Oxford Canal which runs through the city.

Together we are developing a shared vision and cohesive plan so we can realise the true potential of this wonderful waterway.

Our first achievement was creating a masterplan setting out the vision. In September the partnership held a canal festival to raise awareness of the waterway and give people living in the area the opportunity to view and comment on the masterplan.
