MP Support
As part of our desire for continuous improvement in our operations, we decided to adopt a PIG, or Performance Improvement Group. This is a essentially a small group of people who come up with new ideas for the trust, to help keep us on our toes and be the best we can be. Their latest endeavour has included rallying the support of local MPs from areas along the canal.
We're pleased to announce that five MPs have expressed their support for our cause, and will help us to promote the canal restoration when we call on them. The PIG are now working to explicitly define the nature of their involvement but for now we are please to announce that the following MPs are backing the WBCT:
Robert Buckland MP,
Justice Secretary, Member for South Swindon, Vice President of WBCT
Michelle Donelan MP,
Member for Chippenham
James Gray MP,
Member for North Wiltshire
David Johnston MP,
Member for Wantage, Mr Johnstone is already involved concerning an unplanned causeway across the canal at Stockham
Layla Moran MP,
Member for Abingdon
