Why it matters
The approval facilitates the restoration of the Montgomery Canal, which helps reconnect the waterway. The new bridge is designed to maintain access for road users while allowing for potential future boat movements, supporting the canal's role for local communities and visitors.
Powys County Council administers nature funding programs while the Canal & River Trust operates on canals within Wales.
