I held a very productive meeting on Friday to explore how we can unlock the potential of Louth Canal.
We had experts from the Louth Navigation Trust, the Inland Waterways Association, and the Canal & River Trust around the table with East Lindsey District Council and Lincolnshire County Council.
We've agreed to set up a steering group to take steps towards opening up the Canal from the top at Tetney and then out to the sea.
It's going to be a long term project - but we have set the wheels in motion to bring the Canal back to life.
