The Bedford & Milton Keynes Waterway took a major step forward towards becoming a reality when Bedford Borough Council voted unanimously in favour of allowing construction company Balfour Beatty to use clay from a local wood in exchange for cutting channel for the canal. The Mayor of Bedford, Frank Branston, championed a motion at a full Bedford
Borough Council meeting to approve an innovative deal that would see a section
of the waterway (potentially up to 10% of the route) constructed in parallel
with the new A421. Bedford mayor Frank Branston described the decision as "a big step forward". "Getting it done will require the Bedford-Milton Keynes waterway group to get planning permission and technical details approved by 30 September next year. By Christmas 2009 the first length of the first new canal to be built in Britain in 200 years could be cut."
