Respondent: Canal & River Trust

The University of Manchester has undertaken research into the effect of urban cooling from the Rochdale Canal on Manchester City Centre and concluded that there is a notable cooling effect from the canal. Policy CC2 should recognise the benefit of maintaining and enhancing (including through restorations) the Black Countrys waterway network as part of efforts to manage heat risk.
