Melton & Oakham Waterways Society MOWS would like to congratulate SUSTRANS and everyone who voted for them in the peoples millions. With the revitalisation of alternative transport routes all around the UK the peoples millions will help millions of people. MOWS is just one of many organisations hoping to benefit with the rebuilding of a new bridge across the mouth of the wreake - taking the navigation of the Wreake one step closer. We campaign and actively work for the preservation of the Melton Navigation and the Oakham Canal. The Navigation used the River Wreake for the whole of its course from the junction with the main canal system. The Oakham canal extended the route into Rutland, another 15 miles. Our local rural waterways, connected to the main canal system just north of Leicester, meander for 30 miles through some of the most beautiful countryside in the English Midlands. They link Melton Mowbray, Oakham in Rutland,and countless villages for whom the canal was once the prime mover of coal and other goods. MOWS supports many interests, including conservation, angling, walking, cycling, boating and local history. If this appeals to you, do consider joining us. We need members if we are to succeeed in restoring these attractive waterways. Look at our membership page and join us.
