Stourport Forward

Stourport Forward is a not for profit company, formed to oversee the Canal Basins Regeneration Project and set up by local businessman, Derek Fradegley in 1997. The project was responsible for restoring and developing the basins area, restoring buildings and creating two heritage rooms (the Tontine Stable and Old Ticket Office link). Pathways, signage and lighting were improved and offer a fascinating welcome to visitors to this Georgian town.Stourport Forward is led by a chairman and board members, who oversee all work. Its manager and assistant manager are part-time and it would not be possible to do any of the work without a large group of volunteers, carrying out a wide range of tasks. These include guided walks leaders, working boat volunteers, events and heritage volunteers and Canal & River Explorers Volunteers, who lead school and group visits in the canal basins.
