Network Rail are helping to
restore part of the Draycott canal route in Derbyshire with a £350,000
investment. This joins a £100,000 investment by the Canal Trust. The project
will help reduce flooding on the railway and create new recreational
facilities. Known locally as the Golden Mile, the section was infilled in the
1960s. Although a drainage ditch was installed in 1999 to help prevent flooding
on the railway, it has still been flooded 19 times in the last 8 years.
