Consultees

The Joint Management Committee was consulted in November 2023. This includes relevant local and county members for the canal and those with a local interest including the Basingstoke Canal Society. An engagement period with all funding partners and the JMC was run between November and the end of January. This report will provide an update on feedback and implementation of the changes.
