British Waterways
British Waterways is a public corporation. We manage and care for more than 2,200 miles (3,540km) of canals and rivers in England, Scotland and Wales on behalf of the British people.
We will blend best commercial practice with public sector values to earn and increase our income to conserve and enhance the waterways.
As well as being governed by the normal accounting, employment, environmental, planning and safety legislation that affects any modern organisation, we are specifically governed by many of the original canal enabling Acts, as well as a number of modern Acts of Parliament.
