Canal restorers are hoping to secure a ?3 million lottery grant

The Grantham Canal was once a key transport link,

Volunteers think they can return it to its former glory

200 miles of British canals brought back to life in the last 14 years.

Now Grantham's Canal is bidding to join them.

We restored disc 2009 when the war started to collapse.

the Canal and River Trust, taking a look at the success so far.

The restoration of the Woolsthorpe Top Lock.

This is a completely refurbished block. We want to move down to the

next flight, that's the big project ahead of us.

Their day may have gone, but Lincolnshire make the most

Well the Canal and River Trust is calling for volunteers to help

improve waterways around Louth, Sleaford and Grantham.

We are likely to see more commercial activity, particularly in northern

Lincolnshire whether there is currently trade movement but that is

capacity for more. Leisure is still an important part of local

economies. If it was developed more, we would have more trade. Pubs are

in decline at the moment. The message from other parts of the UK

is to make the most of the canal. Wildlife is currently the

Grantham Canal's main attraction, but if a ?3 million funding bid can

help fix a few significant lock gates, then boat owners might also

find it appealing. If we can get beyond these four

blocks, that is our initiative. The importance of getting them restored

is just so important. Of course, restoring the canal

isn't an overnight project. But here,

the hope that this waterway can flourish and bring tourism,

trade and boats back to Grantham. Football now,

can enter. You have two choose any five out of 12 competitions. The guy

This impressive shield is what they'll be hoping to take home.

The competition has been going for 62 years

I've been doing it for 14 years now.

But to have any chance of winning they'll have to get

the better of this man, last year's champion, Mike Crates.

I was the runner`up 19 times and won it last year for the first time

ever, which was very emotional to me and my family.

Given the area's fishing heritage, it's perhaps surprising that it's

the first time the competition has come to North East Lincolnshire.

We have a yellow running for rain. Overnight tonight, the breeze is

going to freshen. It will stay dry and be milder than it was last

night. We continue to see cloud increasing, rain pushing up from the

it has been quite a nice day for most of us. We have seen cloud

amounts increasing but it is this cloud that is coming in from the

Atlantic which is going to bring change in weather. Not too much rain

from it, further patchy rain across Northern Ireland overnight, some

rain at times across Wales and the south-west, shovelling further

east. Far north of England and particularly Scotland, saying drive.

Clearer skies, still quite cold,
