We the residents of Radcliffe want our Canal cleaned up. The Canal could, and should be a major attraction in Radcliffe. However it is currently overgrown,full of rubbish and supermarket trolleys and is becoming an eyesore. Brtish Waterways had pledged to improve the canal but have had their funding cut by the government and have now decided not to clean up Radcliffe Canal. However for the people of Radcliffe this is unacceptable. Please help us by adding your name to the hundreds already pledged to supporting this cause. We can then show to British Waterways what an important issue this is to the people of Radcliffe.

I have been compiling the accounts shared by residents regarding the current state of the canal. These records will be presented to British Waterways to illustrate the community impact of their decision.

The momentum behind this petition highlights how much the residents of Radcliffe value the restoration of our canal. This level of interest demonstrates clearly that the current state of the waterway is a priority for our community.

Total eyesore. My kids deserve a nice place to walk near home not a rubbish dump.

I see so many trolleys in the water every single day. The council needs to stop making excuses and get the area cleared for the residents.

About time something was done here. It smells awful in the summer when the heat hits the stagnant water. Clean it up.
