Heritage deal for Leicestershire locks
British Waterways (BW) has announced that it has secured a new Heritage Partnership Agreement (HPA) to safeguard the long-term future of Foxton Locks in Leicestershire.
English Heritage, Harborough District Council and Leicestershire County Council have all signed up to the new agreement, which outlines ways in which the historic environment of the attraction will be managed. Foxton Locks, which attracts more than 300,000 visitors each year, boasts 10 locks and is classed as a designated conservation area, incorporating a scheduled ancient monument and a number of listed buildings.
Dennis Maney, BW's heritage adviser, said: "As the third largest owner of listed buildings in the UK, this new partnership agreement is a real positive step forward for BW. "We have worked extremely hard over the last few years improving the Foxton site for visitors, while still respecting and protecting the historical importance of the site."
