Memorandum of Understanding:

We believe that a revitalised Chesterfield Canal can make a significant contribution to the quality of life in Nottinghamshire, Rotherham and Derbyshire.

We share a common belief that the Chesterfield Canal constitutes a major natural history and heritage feature, with the potential to significantly enhance the recreational, tourism and business life of the surrounding regions. 

We therefore support the work of the Chesterfield Canal Partnership in protecting, restoring and enhancing the natural history and historic value of the canal, whilst promoting the sustainable development of its social, economic and environmental potential to benefit all sectors of the community.
