Why do we need a Waterspace Strategy and why now? Simply put,
over the past decade, tremendous progress has been made on the
bankside but there is still much we can achieve on the water.
Boaters tell us they want more activity and amenities on and off
the water. Communities tell us they want an attractive, lively
canal. The Scottish Government and our local partners want a
vibrant waterway which delivers real value for waterside
communities and attracts tourists, commerce and investment.
We invite everyone to take part in this consultation and help us
create a dynamic waterspace and ensure the continuing success of
the Scottish canals.
