Derby and Sandiacre Canal Society

'We want to make the city of Derby and its surrounding area a better and happier place to live. We want to safeguard the heritage of the area for our children and to encourage more visitors to visit this area and enjoy our unique hospitality. We want to enhance the connectivity of our village communities and provide safe and healthy routes to our cities. We believe that the most effective way to achieve this is to embrace and improve our connection to water, whether the River Derwent running through Derby City or the Derby and Sandiacre Canal through the outlying communities.'
