HLF Bids by British Waterways and Mellor Archaeological Trust

We recently learned that the HLF bid applications by British Waterways and Mellor Archaeological Trust were both unsuccessful. Of course, this was a disappointment after so much work had gone into preparing the bids.

       

        However, all is back on track following the HLF feedback meeting today. After discussing both bids and their strengths and weaknesses it was decided that the best way forward is to join forces and submit a joint bid. Both projects are closely linked historically and geographically and will therefore work well as one bid submission.

Representatives from Stockport MBC, Mellor Archaeological Trust, British Waterways, Marple Civic Society and Marple Vision Partnership will meet on 24th April to discuss the best way forward.
