Memorandum submitted by Aylesbury Vale
District Council (BW 86)
Here in Aylesbury we are working on a Waterside
Redevelopment Scheme will be part of the Government's Growth Agenda.
The redevelopment involves a new £26 million theatre, retail
units including a new food store and department store and mixed
use development with residential units adjoining the Aylesbury
area of the Grand Union Canal. We are also providing a new Canal
Basin on the edge of town to relocate a local canal society.
We have acquired land from British Waterways
in order to facilitate this exciting development and are working
with them on a range of issues to ensure a vibrant canal area
fully accessible to the public. To that end the canal is a vital
catalyst and the new staff have shown an enthusiasm for this type
of development and we have now got a good working relationship
with British Waterways with a `can do approach' and a good working
relationship into the future is essential to maximise the benefits
for Aylesbury Vale.
